F.W. Engels in Orange Osage
I found an F.W. Engels with some broken scales on the bay. I thought it would look good in an orange one piece. I made a brush to go with it. Since I recently converted my brother to straight shaving I thought it would be a good Christmas present.
For the record, Pixel told me not to use adjustable pins on a vintage blade. I listened and pinned it in the traditional way.
Let me know if you need any help with shaving, honing, etc.

Beautiful work, Osage orange is some seriously tough wood, what did you turn it with?

I used a Jet Lathe and mainly this tool.
I'm not sure what it's called. It was a little ragged after that so I hit it with some 120 then took it all the way down to 800 before putting a finish on it. I saw Mastro Livi buffing his scales when he was done with them so that's what I did That guy's got so much wisdom.

I don't like wood scales... Never understood why people like them... But this one has me rethinking that... Good work
