Thread: Home Made Shaving Brush

This is one of a few shaving brushes my son-in-law has made. He was wanting to sell them on E-bay but I take them first! Your opinions are welcome good or bad. Thanks for looking

Here is another one hand made. I needed the practice posting pictures.

I really like the patterning in the wood. How do they feel in the hand?

I like post # 2 best.

I feel real good and it fits on the stand good . I need to take a picture of the stand but my picture taker just went to bed
The shine seems to need buffing or polishing because I think the wood has something called .....sorry I can't say it is a wax though. I will ask about it. The more you handle it the duller the shine can get but it is easy to bring back with a soft cloth.

A very nice piece and pictures and stories about them are most welcome however talk of selling is not allowed on the open forum.

I will look back but I don't remember talking about selling.

Very nice brushes he has made.

Nice looking burl handles.
The handles probably need a couple of coats of lacquer, shellac, varnish, etc. instead of wax.

I am glad you knew what kind of wood it was I think one of those brushes is made out of a bird eye maple . I can't remember what kind of wood they are carved from. I can't tell you why the wax but your hand doesn't slip from the handle.
