That IS a nice brush.
Good judgment comes from experience, and experience....well that comes from poor judgment.

That's smooth. What kind of material is that? From a block of acrylic?

Thanks all for your kind words. The material is a colorwood dyed laminate. I offset turned the block until it was almost round.
I then stabilized it myself. The funny thing was after stabilizing, it gained considerably in weight. I then finish turned the handle.
Sanding to 1500 grit. Sealed with a homemade sanding sealer. Then coating with 6 coats of polyurethane.
Funny thing about it and I didn't get any pictures, was when you turn it end for end like it was tumbling the handle will turn black at a certain point in the light. It was not by design but purely luck.
Thanks all for looking!!
