    Took a little time away from the Razor bench, and moved over to the Lathe/Brush bench...


    Turned the Sea-Mist acrylic today, I never claim to be any good at turning in fact I always say I am passable on a lathe.. As long as the design isn't too complicated I do alright... I however am pretty darn good at polishing hehehe, I love this acrylic but I hate taking pics of it, I can never quite capture the depth and 3D effect of the colors..


    Body: Sea-Mist Acrylic
    OAL: 126mm
    Knot: 26mm Super Premium Silvertip Badger
    Loft: 52mm

    The Elk Antler is actually easier for me to do, I am just more comfortable when I am using tools other then a Lathe [​IMG]

    Body: Rocky Mtn Elk Antler
    OAL: 115mm
    Knot: Silvertip Badger
    Loft: 51mm
    Base: Recon Malachite

    Very Nice Work Glen...They both look great. The added malachite base was a nice touch.

    Great work. I really like the horn. The base just puts it over the top.
