    So did the matching bowl today. First time I've turned a bowl so I imagine I'll have plenty to improve on.

    I'm hoping someone can give me a steer on the best finish for both bowl and brush. I usually just use a wax finish but given the wet environment I'm wondering if I should be using CA or something else. I don't really like CA but will use whatever is most suitable.

    Thanks

    Thanks gents! Feeling like I might have to make a few different sets in Aussie hardwoods now.

    Got the set finished today and collected about an hour after it was done!



    I re-handled the razor, I didn't have time to try to make the head myself.

    I originally tried to do a box joint, but don't have the tools and the hacksaw didn't really do the job. Might be time to invest in a nice saw.

    Razor handle is turned titanium with the gidgee outer. I'm liking it a lot.
