Custom silvertip

Just wrapped this brush up yesterday for a fellow member here on SRP. It's a TGN 18mm grade A silvertip, set at 43mm loft. The handle is an extra long handle that consists of a curly maple top, and crotch walnut bottom. It's a whopping 5" long handle which will make it great for deep bowl lathering. The style of the handle I eye balled from a picture, and added a bit of my own touch to the bottom portion of the handle for a nicer grip and feel. The Chatoyance in both pieces of wood is some of the best I've seen, and is beautiful on this piece.

Beautiful work Andrew.
I'd love a deeper bowl brush such as that.
Really nice turn, and like you said, super shimmery

Thanks Mike.

That top piece of curly maple I got at the Tilsonburg meet. I traded Mike, Mcbladescar, a piece of birds eye for this curly hunk. The crotch walnut I actually got from the guy at the Aberfoyle antique market who makes the rustic cutting boards and tables. He was crazy to sell me such an amazing piece of walnut.
