Another Buckeye burl Shaving brush.
It's a very blue/gray piece I had, maybe the nicest piece, out of all the Buckeye I have. But you never know whats going to show up when you get into the middle of these blocks. Lots of eyes, tons of chatoyancy, bark voids, and plenty of contrast. The Badger knot is a 24mm TGN, Grade A silvertip, set to a loft of 48mm.
This is one that pictures just don't do justice to. In person, the Buckeye figuring is truly top shelf.

They are truly beautiful - nature revealed, but my heart still belongs to Mabel.

Man that's a lot of texture - my eyes almost don't know where to go! Nice.
I love living in the past...

Great job as usual. Well done.
Buckeye is not a wood I am familiar to hearing about in the Midwest. Does it go by another name?

Not really. It's actually a very soft wood and on the lathe is prone to tear out. You also have to be careful sanding it. Before you know it, all your profile is gone. Here's all you need to know about the wood.

I just looked up pine, and compared the hardness of the two. Jack Pine is actually harder than Buckeye.Last edited by HARRYWALLY; 05-25-2014 at 02:28 PM.
