Still cranking out my handmade wooden combs

FIne tooth beard or hair comb - Bocote with cocobolo grips

I've officially fallen in love with cocobolo. The first time I took this to my buffing wheel and watched the colors jump out at me, I cackled like a madman. As cool as the pictures are, it looks even cooler in person.

Cherry with cocobolo grips

This is probably my single favorite one to date. But at the pace I'm going, that might change tomorrow.

Cherry with Claro walnut burl grips

A bit more subtle than cocobolo, but it still oozes class. Cigars and brandy not included.

Cherry with black & white ebony grips

Not the easiest wood to work with, but that character.

FIne tooth beard or hair comb - Bocote with rosewood grips

The rosewood has a more uniformly deep and rich color, but it does have some colorful undertones nonetheless.

FIne tooth beard or hair comb - Bocote with maple burl grips

The irregular figure of maple burl makes each of these quite distinct.

Now the staple of my shop, and my best seller so far.

Since opening my shop just a couple of weeks ago, I've gone international. These combs have shipped all over the US, and now the UK, Germany, and France.

These are awesome. Also, cocobolo is a super pretty wood (I have a couple guitars with it).
