Thread: Banded Teak

Finishing touches on some Teak for a personal brush this time instead of a customer one. I think I am going to set this to a black badger for some added backbone. Really like working with Teak even though it is like cocoa powder when turning down!

Looks Great Mike, normally I would think the metal ring on the handle might knock chips out of a Glass or china mug, but the wood ridge or Boss would protect that somewhat, Great design and the Teak is Primo.

Thank you sir! This is the third brush handle turned from the Teak and it turns well and works up nicely. I am trying to figure some other ways to use accent bands to adorn brush handles as well.

The end result:

Brush height- 3 3/8"
Loft- 47.6mm
Knot- Black Badger 21mm
