    My shoulder has been doing pretty good, and I did get released from my physical therapy, so I thought I would see what I could do today without overdoing it. I moved my equipment out onto the car port and set up to work on some handles. I turned out three handles. They are ready for their finish, but I thought I would give you a preview. Final knots have not been determined, so the knots are just for show.

    I made the handles with pheasant wood. This is Jayaruh #148.

    I like 150. All of them are very nice. Wish I had the time to get into this. Looks like fun.

    #148 and #150 are very similar. They will have different kinds of knots though. #149 will probably get the Omega boar.

    Thank you. It is the first time I have gotten the lathe out since my surgery. I don't have a proper shop, so I have to move my equipment out of my shed to work with it. Up until now, I have just been using the Dremel and small tools. Today, I broke out the lathe, table saw, and drill press. I did well, but I did take a couple of ibuprofens.

    Look awesome. Personally I like 149 with the black hair over the boar. Really pulls out the dark grain

    Jim,
    How long did each take with the power tools?

    The lathe makes pretty quick work of shaping the handles. I haven't timed myself, but I spent about 2 1/2 hours on the three handles today. That included set up, lathe work, drilling the holes, some Dremel work, and clean up.

    After two coats of polycrylic, I have taken a few pictures with a black synthetic knot.

    Thank you guys. Today, I am going to put the JR number on the bottom and put a final coat of poly on them. Then I will be waiting for the knots to arrive.

    They all look great but I think I like #149 best.

    +1 for me. The black knots are good looking with each of them. I really like the grooves in #149.

    Really fine looking brushes Jim. I agree, "Dark Chocolate" would be a great name for the trio.
