Gift for my father second brush I made on a lathe

im lteaching myself to make handles on a lathe instead of carving and sanding by hand it is not much faster but is more finesse

 

Nice work!

 

Nice work. Son. (hint, hint).

Here are some of my hand carved brushes they are all 30 mm silver tip badger knots. They are much larger than the lathe brushes, that's why I started making my own brushes a wanted a handle to fit in my hand nicely. After making a couple on a lathe I now know why many of the factory wood handles a so small. You waste so much wood on a lathe lol

 

Very nice work.

 

Very nice! You guys are going to be making my retirement fun! I see some new wood turning equipment coming in!

 

Exellent work . What's you're preferred timber choice?

 

Nice work

 

Beautiful work!

 

very nice

 

Great looking brushes!

 

I missed the type of wood?

 

It is red cedar. I use cedar or cypress because I just cut prices from some dead trees in the swamp and make the handles from them. Sometimes I have to cut a lot of rotting wood away to get to the good wood but I'm not using really large pieces so it doesn't matter

 

Amazing looking wood, beautiful. I see a reality show in your future, "Swamp Wood Brushes" or something like that. Right after "Swamp People"?

 

I don't think many people will watch a professor slowly smoke a pipe while whittling a peice of wood or turning one lol. I'm an immigrant to Louisiana not a native as you see on tv. But it's an interesting idea although

Well on second thought we can have a swamp hunting show where your only weapon is a straight razor and Clubman aftershave lol

 

I dunno, "watching a professor slowly smoke a pipe while whittling a piece of wood" sounds calming to me.

 

Great work with material around the area!
