A while back a fellow mentor, Geezer sent me a box FULL of turning blanks. When I saw how much was in the box I was so surprised. To repay him I decided to make him these 2 brushes out of some of the wood he sent. The smaller one is Ebony with Tagua nut, and the bigger, barber style handle is Bocote and Ebony.
Thanks very much for the wood Richard. I always love new materials.

Check out the grain pattern in the nut. Now you know why they call it vegetable ivory.
