Nice piece to make a handle from!
And the spalted beech goes so well with the boar hair.
Terrific results.

It has no finish on it, yet the boar knot may or may not end up in it. I have found that this wood darkens quite a bit when finished.
This bowl is from the same log finished with shine juice.

It is a very cool brush.

I suppose the only critique would be how long it would take to lather only traveling in straight lines across your face?

That’s pretty funny Mike.

Good one mike.

I made this pen yesterday and got these blanks in the mail today.

Nice pen, the blank has a nice translucency to it!

Antique brass parts. I need to step up my game on turning things. But Ive sold 14 or 15 pens now days. Far from making up for the cost of all the kits I have on hand and these last blanks are 15 bucks a pop. But its fun.

Time to start pouring your own blanks. I started doing my own and it and it is not at all difficult. and with the rite epoxy there is really no need for a pressure pot.

I thought about this. Not sure im ready to do that yet. But id be interested in what can be done without a pot.

Post a link or give me a clue.
