    Default My first go at making a few brushes

    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

    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.
