Thread: Shaving Brush For A Friend

A shaving mate asked if i could turn a handle for his Rod Neep Knot 26mm extra dense Silvertip.


He wants to put on a finish on the wood himself.
My day job is taking most of my time right now. So playing with the lathe is minimal.
I spent 10 mins turning and sanding this piece of black n white ebony. I think it turned out pretty nice.

Looks functional,Is the knot set.

No its not set. the knot is not all the way down on the picture. its about 3mm deeper. loft at 48-49mm

Looks good Mr.Magnus! I've always liked the look of B&W Ebony. Do you know what kind of finish your friend wants to put on it?

Thanks. I think he will try cashew liquer from japan. He use it to seal his jnat stones.

Nicely done!!

Thanks Walley.

i was not 100% happy with the sanding and could see some minor flaws. so i took another 5 min to finish it.

New pic after some extra time on it.





almost wish i could keep it fits nicely in my group of wood brushes.

Nice - looks like that extra time was worth it.

I like that very much. For all out there looking, see what 10 minutes can gain ya? MrMagnus a job very well done!

I also like the final outcome of it. Five more minutes isn't much time at all with a total of 15 minutes give or take a minute or two you have a very nice looking brush there. I see why you don't want to get rid of it. It's a professional looking job.
