I don't think you'll ever see me doing the burl cap/Alumilite blanks. I find a lot of the combinations to be ugly, but some I do like. I've seen Trimmy72 do some handles that have the sky blue with a...

That would be awesome to see. Bet it was impressive!

Failure is always a learning experience. You need to learn from your failures, and apply what you've learned for the next time. That way you can always do better. I'm still failing and learning. :)

I totally agree with you about wood being so tactile, and the plastic coatings taking away from that. Recently I have started to do more oil finishes on my wood brush handles. Now that I'm...

Thanks eh!

Yes you do. With your natural woodworking skills, I'm willing to bet you'd have no problem on a lathe. I mean you did make a fabulous brush on your drill press, think of what you can do...

Richard, I can always count on you! Not only for your great comments that always humble me, but also for overloading my small brain with your crazy words.

You amaze me every time you type!!...

Here's a brush I did for Jon in Alberta, (Thisisclog) It's a 28mm grade A, silvertip set to a loft of 53mm. The handle is 3 colors of Cast Acrylic. Orange, clear, and smoke. This is based off of a...
