    Default I made a new brush


    Someone at work gave me some ivory scraps to play with so I made him a custom shave brush using some of it.

    Purple Heart & African Blackwood with Black Palm and Ivory inlays, finished in CA Glue (knot is super badger)

    I'm still struggling with finishes and just learning inlays but I think it's passable...

    You should be very proud of that brush. Gorgeous.

    Nice curvy shape, and choice of materials.
    CA is a pretty durable finish as well. He should appreciate the gift.
