Crochet Hook Gallery

From the page links below, you can pick the individual hooks that you want. Turn of the Century handmade wooden crochet hooks are available in sizes F, G, H, I, J & K and the large hooks in sizes from N through S. Each hook is individually freehand crafted by William Schmidt.

6 Crochet hooks

Most of the F-K hooks are made of hard, high quality exotic hardwoods for beauty and strength. The large hooks N-S are made from fine, strong, domestic hardwoods They are 7 to 7-1/2 inches long. The hooks shown on the pages below have been picked at random from our stock. These particular hooks will only be available on the web.

The following links to the Gallery Pages allow you to pick specific hooks. Because of the proportions of the F-K hooks, only the design portion is pictured. The hooks are numbered with a corresponding list identifying the wood by hook number.
The wood list should appear beside the picture of the hooks. On some mobile devices with vertical screens, it may appear below the picture. In such cases, be sure to match the number on the picture with the number on the wood list. Saves a LOT of confusion.
There is only ONE of each hook available. If it is marked as "SOLD" on the wood list, it is gone.

NOTICE OF RETIREMENT - 11/22/2023 - At 78 years of age, and 52 years as a professional production woodturner, it is finaly time to pack it in - to retire. A fella just gets tired. It will be a tapering off process.

PRODUCTION NOTE -- 11/22/2023--- I have just restocked the "G" Hook Page using both reserve hooks and newly made ones to give a decent selection. There are a LOT - 157 hooks.
THIS WILL BE THE LAST RESTOCKING OF THE "G" PAGE. Future changes to the "G" page will just be condensing it when a significant number of hooks are sold.
I have also restocked the hairsticks page and some of the mechanical pencils on their page - then getting on to some of the other (primarily hook) pages that have sold down. -- don't panic.
On the Large Hook Page, To make it easier to correlate the hooks in the pictures with the accompanying wood lists, each large hook size now has its own page (linked FROM its size on the Large Hook Page). Hopefully, this will make things more manageable.

The Site Map lists the main pages and all the gallery pages for your convenience. It should make navigation a bit easier.

If you have a gmail address, include your phone number in any emails you send me. Seems Google (with great reliability) throws my return emails into a "spam" folder - someplace - without the courtesy of informing either you or me. To remedy this, I have opened a gmail account to be able to communicate to you, and even those sometimes go missing. so a phone number will be a backup if I do not hear back from you. Or.... after 4-5 days of no reply, call me. Be sure to leave a message if we do not pick up. -- I thank all of you for your patience.... and perseverence. -- Bill

PS: WEB TIP: In web browsers (Mozilla (Firefox), at least) doing "Control +" enlarges the screen image, "Control -" shrinks it. Makes details (and type) easier to see.
