24mm badger in amboyna burl
Andrew, aka HarryWally helped me put on a brush turning get together early summer this year. We had a a bunch of gents over turning brushes and sharpening blades.
I hosted, but secretly it was all a front so I could watch Andrew and his technique in action. As thanks for hosting, which was totally unnecessary, he gave me a nice blank of some amboyna to play with.
So I finally decided to make a brush out of it.

I bought a knot already set in a nice chrome cap with a 3/8-16 tpi thread on it so tried to make a travel brush out of it.

Turned out light and has a pretty cool grain pattern.
Really couldn't do much shaping as the wall thickness ended up 1/4" but added some small details and slight curve for the grip.
Through threaded the hole so I can turn the knot a half turn when in the handle so it stays safely stowed.
Cheers and thanks for looking.
