Skipnord's workshop & some spalted maple brush handles...
Today I just had to get out of Dodge ( the house) so I drove over to Skips workshop.
When I arrived he was heat treating some blacksmith tools he had recently made.
Skip had sent me an email with a pic of some stabilized spalted maple brush handles he had turned so I wanted to see those. Here are 2 pis of them
He also handed me a block of spalted maple and helped me turn a brush for myself. This was the first shaving brush handle I have ever turned
and here are some in process pics
and he still has some blanks left over!
It was a pretty good day

Thanks for the kind words, Randy. What he neglected to mention, folks, was that the spalted maple was a gift from him - leftovers from a pressure finishing project several years ago. The 2nd brush from the left turned out to be a real jewel.

It's amazing when wood that is so pithy it don't make good firewood turns into something interesting. Good job.

Really great post, thank you gentleman. I love spalted wood and it's so cool seeing how it goes from a blank to a beauty.
