We have longtime customer Ada to thank for this comb. She emailed an image of an antique Ashanti hair comb with two snakes carved in high relief on its handle and wanted to know if I could make one like it for her.
I told her I would be happy to make a comb in the same style as the one in her photo and suggested that it be made from cocobolo, which many think the most beautiful of all hardwoods. She approved the wood choice, and about ten days later I posted a photo gallery of her new Ashanti Wood Comb for final approval. Her reaction was positive so I shipped the comb to her immediately. to see Ada's comb and the photo that inspired it.
After her endorsement I knew that I had to offer the Ashanti Wood Comb to all of my Artistree Wood Comb customers. I made two from the same lovely cocobolo as Ada's comb and offer them for sale now, but you may also choose to have me make one for you in one of the other beautiful hardwoods in the list. I chose not to include the relief-carved snakes on these two "already made" combs, but if you want snakes or some other figures added to your comb, just let me know what you would like before you order and I'll get back to you right away.
The Ashanti Wood Comb measures six inches by two wide.
