Looks cool! Wait till the wood guys come on. Lots of oil finishes, etc would look great and be tons easier than doing CA, esp since you have them all put together.
Do you want cheap or fast?:D
Looks nice.
Yea I was too excited to epoxy the knot in it to figure out the CA so I figured I could just Tung oil the heck out of it. The scales are just put together with screws so i can take that apart and do something fancy if need be
I guess I don't know what you mean, fast is good, cheap is good to as long as it turned out well. Unfortunately I am impatient and jump into things full bore as I have only been straight razor shaving for 3 months and already have 8 blades, two sets of custom scales and now a second handmade brushQuote:

Fast/easy costs money. [Lathe etc.] Cheap [knife and sandpaper] costs time and more skill/practice.Quote:

Too true man, I hate seeing the word handmade on ten a penny lathe turned out by the million junk. What you have made is the buisness not a 30 second machine job. Well done sirQuote:

Very nice, personally I like the unfinished look for some reason. Attempts at something like that would cause an unnecessary trip to the emergency room so I will live vicariously through others creations.
