Backscratcher

[Harvestman]

Rather than spend the entire afternoon at the computer, I went into the shed and made an old-fashioned back scratcher from some yew.

Frst time I've made one of these, and it is a bit crude, but it does the job.

Please excuse the rubbish photos

You use a spoon to scratch your back?

When the itch is bad I use whatever comes to hand that will reach!

Lovely job.

LOL very good! I used to have one, perhaps a midwinter beginner's carving project for me

They seem to have gone out of fashion, which is odd, since itches still occur and people still can't reach the middle of their backs easily.

Thanks for the comments folks.

My wife has a bamboo one and it's Heaven when you've got an itchy back... Good work!

Why is it, this instantly made me think of this:

Nice work, My back started to itch as soon as I saw your post. I want to make a stand for my 'drinking horn' tomorrow ready for Christmas day, so if time allows maybe a back scratcher as well ( as my partner always winges when I ask her to do it).

Thanks for the inspiration !

It came up in conversation the other night with my wife, and we both remembered grandparents having one, but didn't know where they had ended up, and we both said we wanted one. I'll have to make another now for myself, since she gets this one for Christmas.

Thanks for all the comments.
