    The lathe is a Unimat 3

    Great fun to use, and very versatile.

    Is that Circassian walnut?
    Whatever it is....well, you combined some beautiful materials in a unique way. Very organic looking

    I was going to also say it almost looks like a jewelers lathe of the watchmakers variety but they are even smaller than that.

    The guy that owned it was a model maker, so a fairly small lathe.

    Sadly, he died last year. His wife was going to throw the lathe in the skip !

    What a lovely brush. Well done for your first attempt.

    I was going to comment about the Purdey stock but I see that you answered WW243's concern.

    Very nicely done for your first go, you did very well. I want a lathe just like that, yours looks in good shape.

    What's the red material between the stag and Walnut? I got a tip from BWP1474 to use hotel room keys to add a strip of thin white to handles. So my last vaca I hung onto about 8.

    The spacer is known as fibre liner, used in knife making mostly.

    Well done sir and one of my favorite combinations, I have a knife in antler and Ironwood that has the Old flavor of the beautiful brush handle you made..
