Oh you are soooo lucky to have a BF do that for you. It is just beautiful. If my dad were still alive, I am sure he would be making me a lot of wood hooks. He had his wood shop set up in the garage and made many many nice items, but at the time, I wasn't crocheting, so no hooks.
I have bid on a Jimbo hook and am hoping I am the winning bidder - it not, there is always another time.
Enjoy your new hook!

Whatever the reason, that's one awesome looking hook. I've been drooling over the Jimbos myself lately but don't have the guts to bid
