also made a 3" x 15" Roo strop to compliment a 11/16" Bengall as a beginner kit

I know these aren't as flash as the many beautiful brushes & knots in the cove,
but are a good starter for a Beginner to get a Taste with out a big budget.

That's a really nice design! Thanks for sharing it!

I'm liking it man! It's different. The stand is a great idea. Very good starter set up. :rock:

Wow
That is more a mantelpiece than a bath accessory.

Well done

Dude, that's super cool. Great creativity!

:beer2:

An unusual design but very nice and a stunning beginner kit!!

Very interesting, great design, great job.

Very nice, a job well done. I also love the figure showing on the bottom of the oak base. It reminds me of lacewood. That would make a great looking set of scales.

thanks Tack this is from the same branch cut length ways

Beautiful brush design. Very natural lines.
Really like the idea of the stand being a piece of the same horn. May borrow that stand design on a future brush. Still have one side of a texas longhorn rack to use and that's a really cool design.
Thanks for sharing. A++ workmanship.

Great shave brush and stand.

What an ingenious brush design! Nice job

Very cool idea!

Tres chic!

The brush looks awesome. What throws me off on the look are the brass screws holding it together. They look out of place with the natural look of the horn and wood.

That side goes toward the wall, Moonshae! :rofl2:
But yeah, some epoxy next time, Mate! ;)

Arydite is the real holder here lads, no trust in pins only here
the rivets are razor pins & eyelets but where experimental and purely for decoration for something different but they are arylited in also for extra strength

Have not heard of Arydite. Is that like epoxy?

Yup, a two parter, Araldite just like slow set jb weld. Colour is sort of beige-ish, or at least the tubes I had were.

yeh mate it is a 2 part epoxy (Selley's Araldite is the brand )
is has the original mix which is a slight yellow colour when cured & they also have a clear curing option

one of the most common 2 part epoxy's in Aus I think, get it all the way from 1ml tubes to 2L plus tins great stuff
if the superglue (CA glue) doesn't work get the Araldite it will work on near everything

Araldite,, Vegimite,,
Hmmmmm, same colour too.. I wonder if we have found the secret to the glue...

LOL, never tried it. remember the yellow bottle though.
Referenced in that classic tune, I come from a land down under.
That tune was so big in my parts when it was new in the early 80's.

I searched it out on you tube again. Was into this before I could shave..
Ahhh memories,

Great design, thanks for the post.

Such a nice little kit there!!!
I envy you your skill and it makes me want to dip my feet back into the pool so to speak. Ive been absent far too long!
If your kit does not make the aspiring straight shaver fall in love with the past time, nothing will!! :tu

Awesome. I had no idea cattle horn could look so good.
