Hand-Carved Plugs, Tunnels, and Hangers from Two Feather Plugs: A Celebration of Craftsmanship and Tradition
At Two Feather Plugs, we believe body jewelry is more than an accessory—it’s a form of self-expression, individuality, and art. Our handcrafted plugs, tunnels, and hangers for stretched ears embody this philosophy, blending traditional carving techniques with high-quality materials to create pieces that are as meaningful as they are beautiful. Each item in our collection is a testament to the skill of our artisans and the unique story behind every material we use.
Plug Materials That Matter
We take pride in sourcing only the finest natural materials to craft our plugs, tunnels, and hangers. The organic feel, durability, and intricate beauty of these materials make them perfect for creating jewelry that is both functional and artistic.
1. Wood Plugs:
Wood has long been a favorite material for us and your stretched ears. At Two Feather Plugs, we look at your ear plugs as an art form. We hand-carve our wooden plugs, tunnels, and hangers from sustainably sourced woods, ensuring each piece is environmentally friendly and naturally beautiful. Our collection features three exceptional wood types:
-
Areng Wood: Known for its deep black tones and fine grain, Areng wood is a striking choice that exudes sophistication. Its dark color pairs effortlessly with any outfit and adds an elegant touch to your stretched ears.
-
Tamarind Wood: This unique wood offers stunning natural patterns and warm golden-brown hues. Its intricate grain ensures that no two pieces are ever alike, making every Tamarind wood plug or hanger a one-of-a-kind treasure.
-
Sawo Wood: With its smooth texture and reddish-brown tones, Sawo wood is a classic material that feels light and comfortable to wear. Its versatility makes it a perfect option for everyday use.
Each piece of wooden jewelry is lovingly carved to highlight the wood’s natural characteristics, creating plugs, tunnels, and hangers that are as unique as the person wearing them.
2. Horn and Bone: Organic and Sustainable
We are proud to use horn and bone from the Asian Water Buffalo to craft stunning body jewelry. These materials have been used for centuries in traditional adornments and remain a popular choice for their durability, smooth finish, and unique aesthetic. We use everything from the deceased water buffalo to make sure nothing goes to waste.
-
Horn Plugs: The polished black surface of horn creates a sleek and glossy appearance, perfect for bold, statement-making jewelry. We have polished these horn plugs to a shine. We carve from a small 12 gauge up to 13mm (1/2"). We do not carve anything in a larger gauge because of the natural shape and size of the horn material. These are one of our more durable plug material.
-
Bone Plugs: Carved bone offers a creamy, matte finish that contrasts beautifully with darker materials like horn or Areng wood. Its lightweight and organic nature make it comfortable for extended wear. Our bone plugs are carved between 8 gauge up to 00 gauge. Again the size we can carve up to depends on the thickness of the bone. It is more difficult to source bone for the 00 gauge plugs lately.
We are committed to ethical sourcing, ensuring that the horn and bone we use are byproducts of the farming industry. By repurposing these materials, we honor their natural beauty while promoting sustainability.
The Art of Hand-Carving
At the heart of everything we create is the traditional art of hand-carving. Our skilled artisans use time-honored techniques to shape each piece of jewelry, ensuring exceptional quality and attention to detail. From intricate designs to smooth, seamless finishes, every plug, tunnel, and hanger is crafted with care and precision.
Why We Love to Carve
Hand-carving is more than just a process—it’s a passion. Each piece we create is a reflection of the artistry and dedication of our team. By carving every item by hand, we:
-
Celebrate Individuality: No two pairs of plugs are exactly alike, making every item in our collection a unique work of art.
-
Honor Tradition: Hand-carving allows us to preserve and share the cultural heritage of this ancient craft. This is a learned art passes on through gernations.
-
Prioritize Quality: The attention to our plugs detail in hand-carving ensures a flawless finish and a perfect fit for your stretched ears.
We take pride in the time and effort that goes into every pair of plugs, knowing that it will become a cherished part of someone’s body jewelry collection.

Double Flare Plugs: Secure and seamless, double flare plugs are perfect for those who want a snug fit. Typically there is a 2mm flare on both ends of the plugs.
-
Single Flare Plugs: Easy to insert and secure with O-rings, single flare plugs are ideal for new stretches or those who prefer a simpler design. Perfect for when you first stretch to a gauge size.
Our tunnels highlight the beauty of stretched ears by creating an open tunnel design that draws attention to the size and shape of your stretch. Available in materials like Tamarind wood and polished horn, our tunnels offer a bold and modern look.
