Oak Combs

[WayneG]

Been meaning to do this for a long time, this is originally a Steve good pattern but I altered it to fit the piece of wood that was the correct thickness, stack cut two. If you did not know using a wooden comb apparently has benefits for the scalp and hair. This was a trial and with the grain going in the wrong direction but IMO it still strong enough. Going to try another wood and with the right direction... It feels great on the scalp....

I read that not stimulating your scalp is one reason people go bald.In love all my life to drag a comb on my scalp.And i have a full head of hair?I'd love to scratch my scalp with your homemade combs

Beautiful!  I could make them out of pine and my “hair”  wouldn’t break the teeth

[wombatie]

Great work Wayne...I made a couple a year or so back, and as you can sea in my avatar I comb my beard every day, and no static electricity.

Nice work Wayne thanks for sharing 

[Gonzo]

I forget..... What's a comb used for?

[WayneG]

thanks folks! think I am going to try one out of brazillian redwood AKA bulleted, that shit is so hard it won't matter what way the grain is going...being that I use 99% of wood that is being repurposed I rarely have access to wood with grain going the way it needs to be to accommodate the length of a comb...

also going to try a hair pik....
