Fido said:I have no wish to hijack this thread but to continue the discussion about moving away from traditional handles in an appealing way.
I have old and new bells, some of which have been made for me by Whitechapel Bell Foundry in London. The guy who makes small bells there has wood turning skills available. I asked him to come up with ideas that moved away from more traditional styles of handle. These photos show one traditional and the two that appear in the earlier post. I will post one more below. The bells are mediaeval cup bells - a true marriage of old and new! It is great to innovate and try new approaches so good luck to anyone who can help create even finer works of art. Which is just what a shaving brush should be.
Everytime i look at this post, the little smutty grey cells start working overtime with thoughts of Fido looking lovingly at his collection thinking about the optimum "Bell End" for a shaving brush..............sorry Fido.
I'm leaving now.......
