    It really was nice to work with. For scales it was pretty flexible and for brushes it turned easily. It got a little rough on the lathe, but that may have been due to my lack of skill. My solution was to rough shape it and take it the rest of the way with some 120 grit. It smoothed up nicely then

    Can't wait to see what you do with it Ray. Your other brushes have been beautiful.

    Good job, looks nice. I like the pins also. I had a razor with the fastener and while I didn't mind it in theory, it would loosen up and seemed like a hassle. Maybe I needed a lock nut
    I love living in the past...

    Loctite it with super glue... If you have to grind it to get it off who cares.... It would make it the same as pinning because u need a new pin and washers every time
