Nice, Jerry-I'm still waiting for mine. Is that the 5/8"? I must be crazy-I got the 3/4" with the 20" handle. Carter and Son must make them to order, as mine still hasn't shipped since I ordered it...

I've got a Joseph Allen in Birdseye Black Cherry Burl that would pair well with that-now all we need is a cherry brush!

Gorgeous, prettiest shave bowl I've ever seen, DB, seriously-I will be looking at this for inspiration when I do my 1st shaving bowl. School startup after Christmas has kept me out of the shop...

Well, Gasman Jerry gives me crap if I buy something I could have made or turned. So I stole his idea for making a hand-wheel for my Laguna lathe to replace the (not very useful) small stock handle....

A couple of those jumbo pizza cutter kits from Rockler as Christmas presents: 1 in Macacauba, and the other in Redheart that my wife helped me design at the lathe to be more aesthetic. I love working...

I hear ya-it's pricey. I might wait to see how deep I go down the rabbit hole of bowl turning before committing, but my theory is that weighted handle will be good for stability (and thus, fewer of...

Oh, and as long as you're getting a bowl gouge, are you getting one from Doug Thompson? I'm strongly considering one of his, weighted handle and all, and would be interested in your take if you get...

Looks good, Jerry-I still don't have the sanding pads on the drill situation set up, so on that 1st one I did I just used heavy-duty 80 grit strips from a roll for that crucial 1st sand, dipping the...

Yep, I believe experienced turners call that a "re-design."

Charlie-I would love to be able to forge razors, but don't seem to have "a feel for steel." I get wood, though.

And Jerry, I do plan to go thinner (but not hat-level thinner, Vern!)-I purposely...

Finished. My homemade jam chuck worked better than expected as long as I kept the tail-stock engaged, so I was able to get the foot down to where I wanted it. I'm just happy I didn't mess up my 1st...

Well. I got that walnut bowl a bit drier in the food dehydrator we got my son for Christmas (which we let him open early to do a couple of batches of deer jerky). It worked perfectly. Anyway, I now...

Too bad you don't live around here-I could hook you up with all the wood you want for free.

Beautiful work, DB, especially that cherry burl-wow! I'll have to remember to score lines on the bottom for lather-making. What did you use to seal or water-proof it?

Incidentally, that walnut...

Shawn-Since you were in Hawaii, I'm sure some of the wood was koa, which I'm sure you know can be quite beautiful. I haven't done anything with it (yet). The longer I work with wood, the more I love...

Okay, having turned a few dozen now, I'm getting seriously tired of pens, and I think I've just about funded the Maggards' next boat payment in shaving brush knots alone, so what else to do? :shrug:...

Tom, he still posts some on Instagram. I've told him we miss him over here. But I totally get the appeal of (and am on) Instagram-and I don't even do social media for the most part. But there is an...

Nice work-Is that 1st set desert ironwood? It sure looks like it!

So here's the brush part of the Cocobolo and copper combo I've been working on as time allows; I just installed it with 2-part epoxy. The other half is the NOS Herder 49 in the same material I posted...

Nice work, Jerry-My favorite of your brush designs are the 2nd and 3rd ones from the right. It's nice to have a dedicated thread for turning now; thanks for getting it done! I'll come back in after...
