    Appreciate the ideas, thanks.
    Cris, nice finish with the tung oil, good looking scales.
    I am thinking of starting with a bowl and brush, don't have a lot of bowl turning under my belt yet...
    Something smaller and puck size.. maybe with a lid,, Put some Penhaligon's in it..
    A matching stand as well for the brush, I can see too..hand cut dovetails, never tried em, thought that's what screws or dowels were for,, lol.

    A bowl and brush would probably be better. Oak for scales is nice because of its springiness and light weight, but they are kind of lack luster. The scales that I posted were from an oak tree in south Atlanta, GA and the blade is a Union Razor made in what is now south Atlanta. The two just spoke to me and said put us together.

    As for bowl turning, put on a full face shield and go at it. And hope it doesn't explode at the end. I prefer to turn oak when it is still green. You could also do it without a lathe using a hook knife or a scoop draw knife.

    I would put some of it into half inch thick pieces and cut some other contrasting wood into half inch thick pieces glue it all together and turn one amazing shave brush
