Teak wood ( Tectona Grandis) has been used in the boat building for over 150 years and is used for outdoor furniture a lot due to its high oil content. This gives Teak great resistance to weathering as well as pest invasion. Over time Teak will turn to a silver-grey color which can be readily seen on the decks of yachts. It is very strong and makes fine Hair Sticks as it is usually just finished by buffing and waxing.

You get two Spiral Teak Sticks in this sale.

One of the best things about using Teak for hair Sticks is the variety of grain patterns and colors that you come across. Tans with dark stripes are easy to find and the grain though mostly straight can be found in very interesting designs. Teak is truly beautiful and you will be happy with these sticks.

These Spiral Hair Sticks are 6 inches long and undulates from 1/2" at the top down to a point. The Sticks are about 1/4" in thickness , a tan to deep brown color and and able to hold lots of hair securely. I make Similar Spiral Sticks out of many species of wood and these Teak Spiral Sticks are as strong as any of the hardwoods I use with the exception of Ebony and the Hardest of the Rosewood Varieties..

I consider this stick to be one of my strongest and I would classify it as having good holding power rather than many of my other sticks that I would classify as more decorative with medium to lighter holding power. The use of Hair Sticks as "levers" is not a good idea as most Hair Sticks are decorative and they will break under excess stress.

As a matter of caution some of the sticks will be sharper then some people like and I therefore recommend that you blunt the tip with an emery board to the degree of sharpness you want.

If you find any of my sticks not to your liking I will take them back.
