Groomsmen Gifts Update
A little while ago I posted a thread at the start of this project. Today I glued in the knots!
The knots are all badger from TGN
Left: Black and White Ebony w/ 22mm mixed badger
Right: Purpleheart and Holly w/ 22mm mixed badger
I went with the mixed badger for these because I wanted the darker color in the knot. Unfortunately TGN didn't have any 22mm black knots.
Left: Red Cedar w/ 22mm pure badger
Right: Yellowheart w/ 22mm pure badger
Each groomsman is going to get a brush, matching stand, red or black ceramic bowl, and a tube of shaving cream.
I just need to pick up two more bowls, and make the stands!

Thanked: 1 The stands are done!!!
I finished the last stand tonight! Each stand is made of wood to match the brush handle and sealed with CA.
Red Cedar
Black and White Ebony
Yellowheart
Purpleheart and Holly
Each stand has my personal brand (tough to see on the ebony)
I had never done a CA finish before and it was a challenge, but not as much as I expected (except for when I almost glued myself to one of the bases. Now the last thing for me to do is find boxes to wrap them in!
