Hi everyone. Just finished my second brush. I shaped the handle similar to the Semogue brushes, because I think they are some of the most comfortable to use. Knot is a 26mm Maggard Synthetic - and I have no idea what kind of wood this is ... found that piece in my workshop and I liked the color in combination with the knot. What do you think?
Thank you for all the kind words Yes, I turned the handle on a lathe. I am not talented enough to hand-carve something with that precision
Actually yes, that's possible. I received a larger chunk of Elm some time ago and this could have been a leftover.
