Product Description
Back Scratcher Overview
We matched up our signature back scratcher design with a handle
made from the wood used in our popular exotic teak back scratcher (52-750)
to come up with this beauty. Our signature hardwood back scratchers combine form and function
in an elegant design that is both highly effective and uniquely beautiful. Here, the
contrast between the beautifully grained red oak stave, treated with ammonia
vapor to make it almost a honey color and the natural teak wood handle
is striking. We import this dense hardwood from Asia; it is highly prized for its hardness, color and beautiful grain.
Always in short supply, these back scratchers are individually serialized
with their unit number and batch size like the collector's items they truly are. While they may
look too pretty to use, don't worry - they scratch with the same effectiveness as other
members of the family! Around Christmas some batches
only last a few days so if you want the best, order early because when we're out, we're out
and we don't always know when the next batch of teak stock will be available.
Features of this premium teak handled hardwood back scratcher include:
All Hardwood Construction
- this back scratcher's handle is formed from natural teak wood. The one piece scratcher stave is a single piece of
natural red oak*.
- Hand Built - the back scratcher's 1.2" wide red oak stave is bent
using steam pressure, ammonia vapor treated to bring out its color then the end is carved to form the scratcher edge. Then the
teak wood handles are glued on (the total handle thickness through the stave and both handle
halves is 0.75"), the blank is routed, finish sanded and drilled with a 0.5"
hole for easy hanging. Finally, the entire back scratcher is finished with a
protective coat of clear lacquer.
- Universal Design - the back scratcher's generous 21.5" length and 1.2"
scratcher edge makes it possible for users of all sizes or for those with elbow or shoulder
motion difficulties to conveniently reach and scratch anywhere it itches. The combination of
length and the wide scratcher edge make this a very aggressive back scratcher and it can
scratch on bare skin or through a shirt or blouse with ease.
- Includes Leather Thong - This hardwood back scratcher includes a natural
leather thong for easy hanging.
- Includes Signed Certificate of Authenticity - these back scratchers are
hand made in limited numbers in small batches. Each back scratcher from each batch is serialized and
includes a signed certificate of authenticity indicating its number, production date and the size of the batch.
If you're looking for a well designed, hand crafted, beautifully finished back scratcher designed to reach
anything you want to scratch and then scratch it with vigor, this is the back scratcher for you.

*Due
to natural variations in wood the color and grain of your back scratchers will vary - as the
handles of our walnut back scratchers in the photo show. However, each one is unique and
they are all beautiful.
**All units are hand built wood products and
there may be minor unit to unit dimensional variations which do not effect the use of the back
scratcher.
Important Note: Because of state and local health department regulations in the
State of Washington, back scratchers are considered personal hygiene items and may only be returned
for credit if in the original unopened packaging materials. Please contact
BackScratcherWorld.com™ for authorization prior to returning this product.
