Banksia pod brush

Beautiful brush. The combination of woods really works beautifully.
How was the banksia pod to turn? I've looked at some, and they look like they would be "crumbly." Chunks rather than shavings coming off.

Man that is a good looking brush!

very nice
great to see a honky nut get used for something other than fire wood & making itchy powder LOL

Best use of a banksia pod I have ever seen. Nice.

Once you get through the fluffy outter layer, Its like turning a nice hardwood like maple. Not as hard to turn as you would expect.... Sorry it took me so long to reply to this Irish. Must have missed your post.

What is this CA everybody keeps mentioning. I am getting ready to restore my first brush, an Ever Ready 200T. I will need to remove/replace the knot with a really nice quality knot. I will need to polish it. Will I need "CA"?

CA is an abbreviation for Cyanoacrylate, which is the scientific name for superglue.
