I found this Oak on a job site I was working on. The slabs of Oak were being used as pads under the main support columns in the house. We replaced the old beam and also the columns. Of course I kept the slabs of Oak. They have to be at least 50 years old, and are as dry as a fart in a wind storm. Sectioned them up on the table saw and revealed some very dark seasoned grain that look very nice. Had to throw some on the lathe and see what came up. Here's the result.

This brush was just a little experiment for me to mess around with. I think it came out quite nice.
The finish I did a bit different than usual, just messing with some new techniques. Tried and Tru Varnish oil was applied twice and allowed to dry for a week. I then buffed it with Tripoli, followed by white diamond and then Carnauba. The knot is a TGN 24mm Synthetic.
Thanks for looking Gents!!
