    I have just completed a brush in Burmese Blackwood and TGN two band finest badger. I really love this wood! It is super dense, making the handle very heavy. I used CA to create a glass-like finish of over a dozen coats. This brush is one of my very favorites so far to come off my lathe.

    Brush Dimensions (approximate):

    Total height: 110mm
    Handle: 60mm
    Loft: 50mm
    Knot: 27mm Bulb shape

    I made another brush in a resin handle. I call this "Burnt Butterscotch Pearl". There is a lot going on in this material. Black, red, gold, pearl, all swirling together in a mesmerizing display. The knot is TGN two band finest. I really like this brush a lot.

    Brush Dimensions (approximate):

    Total height: 112mm
    Handle: 62mm
    Loft: 50mm
    Knot: 25mm Bulb shape

    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
