    I have created a brush in Bethlehem Olivewood handle and TGN two band badger. This brush came out really well. The wood is very beautiful. My first olivewood turning and I am absolutely in love with this material. The knot is one of the best I've gotten from TGN. It is almost perfectly shaped, the hair is of excellent quality. Super soft tips and amazing backbone and density.


    Approximate dimensions:

    Total height: 110mm
    Handle: 60mm
    Loft: 50mm
    Knot: 28mm Bulb shape

    I have completed a new brush. This one is made with Tambootie wood that has a dark and light wood in it. It is absolutely stunning. The light side has a knot coming in from the dark side. It is really a beautiful piece of wood. I finished it with CA for water-proofing and I polished it to a high gloss.

    Approximate dimensions:

    Total height: 102mm
    Handle: 52mm
    Loft: 50mm
    Knot: 25mm bulb shape

    Thank you for that information. It did smell very good, but to me it was more cedar-like than sandalwood, but now that I know, I will smell sandalwood It is very lovely wood to turn, look at and smell. Of course the brush handle will no longer smell since it is sealed with the CA finish.
