Thread: Sweet 18

Here is a new series of shaving brushes coming off the lathe. The Sweet 18, they are long & slender, handles about 3" topped with a 18mm Silvertip Grade A knot, thanks for looking and any comments.

what is that gorgeous rainbow looking wood called (or how did you get it to look like that)?

I've heard it referred to as Dymondwood or Diamondwood. It's a laminated plywood material where each layer of wood is dyed. I agree it looks very cool.

Yes Dymondwood is correct, laminated dyed woods pressed together and infused with resin to make a very hard dense stable wood.

Makes nice gun stocks. Got a fist full of pen blanks as well. Takes a sharp bit to drill out and hard to turn but it polishes out like glass.

Gentlemen,

These brushes so attractive that they dare even make a non-gentleman shaver stop and take a second look. Well done.

Simply exquisite Tony! I love 18mm knots
