Silver Birch Brushes

[Steven_Jagger]

It's been ages since I have turned a wood handle to busy with work to get near the lathe but today grabbed a piece of purple heart then started on a resin blank tonight.

2 brushes turned today on the lathe,
1st is Chacate Preto wood, nice weight to it, big handle with a 30mm tuxedo


2nd is cocobolo with a 26mm tuxedo knot

I really like this style, good job.

Got a package today from the very talented Steven.
I've had the brushes for a while, now I have two amazing sets:


Thank you Steven.

Had a blank sitting and someone had mentioned a keyhole shape, shape is spot on just need to get the finish nailed.

Two brushes finished and sent on their way, on the left is 30mm tuxedo in a Chacate Preto wood and on the right 26mm tuxedo in Cocobolo

Piece of oak with a bit of burl in it, different from the usual wide bottom handles I do & 26mm silvertip and a tuxedo fan knot

Picked up the new lathe today, think it was clean for all of 5 minutes before starting to turn this bowl might be a shaving bowl not sure yet.

Got round to coating this handle, 2 coats on 1 to go then sand and polish it up, banded purple heart
