    Default first attempt at brush making

    So the wood is Apple that I took from a tree at my parents farm. (Piece of original branch the picture attached) Just a dead branch so no trees were killed in making this.
    The badger knot is from lee valley.
    The finish is butcher block oil.
    There is just a little bit of spalting in this piece.
    Overall quite happy!Name:  2014-08-25 11.14.21.jpg

    Hey thanks for the replies guys.
    I turned a piece of wood once about 15 years ago. So I pretty well have no experience with it. Borrowed the in-laws shop for a day. But I sort of knew what I wanted to do so I just took my time.

    Nothing wrong with a little spalting!
