My first go at making a few brushes

**rgepting** · 03-03-2013, 10:38 PM

I ordered a few badger hair knots last week and wanted to give it a go making brushes. I used my metal lathe to turn these. Used a CA finish after sanding. First time turning wood. One is for my Dads 80th birthday next week. Thanks for looking. Rich

All three look excellent! I'm sure he'll love it! Very nice work on those.

The one on the left reminds me of a chess piece. I think it's my favorite of the three for that reason.

I was thinking of asking if he wanted to make chess set...

They look great I would be more than satisfied with the outcome.

I am sure your Father will both appreciate and treasure it.

They all look great. You obviously know your way around a lathe no matter the material.
