It's fact. This type of surface helps to make a lather, but actually I use my new lowely shaving scuttle. Originally Posted by engine46

Can you really fit that into your pocket?
It looks like it was made from an old knife sharpener!!!

Ohhh! How pretty! I wish I could try a newer synthetic (that one in particular!
). Tried a few about 5 yrs ago and they would not retain anything. I understand they are better now?
Lovely brush. Nice job!
BTW, I really dig your lathe. Nice results!Last edited by sharptonn; 04-09-2015 at 02:23 AM.

I think your brushes are amazing. I am a wood turner myself and can't wait to turn some brushes! Where do you get the fur from?

Quality workmanship! Absolutely love the cherrywood one. The pale knot really accents the dark wood!
