    I ordered a few badger hair knots last week and wanted to give it a go making brushes. I used my metal lathe to turn these. Used a CA finish after sanding. First time turning wood. One is for my Dads 80th birthday next week. Thanks for looking. Rich

    Eric, a CA finish is Super glue ( Cyanoacrylates) It just gives a nice more water resistant finish
