Doesn't make sense for a woodworker to hand carve the handle when it can quickly be turned on a lathe. Time is money or greater output.
No, one can find great solace in this kind of work. No machines, no noise. Just the skill to be able to do it.Doesn't make sense for a woodworker to hand carve the handle when it can quickly be turned on a lathe. Time is money or greater output.

He didn't have a lathe and is just doing it for fun/recreation as he's retired.
This mahogany brush with knot and shipping was $20 so as you can see he does it predominantly for fun and to cover the cost of the next knot
He's actually referring to buying them as 'adopting' them.
Great guy to deal with and really refreshing to see something driven by passion and not profit.
Next I'm getting one of his badger ones...
Update: damn, @picklednorth beat me to it
The maker of these brushes is a retired gentleman who carves these for fun. He only did it for his own pleasure, but people started noticing them and asking to buy them. He wont sell them, but will allow you to adopt them, and only charges enough money to buy new stock so he can make more.
It is not a business. http://jrshaving.blogspot.com/
He actually has a lathe, and only recently got around to using it for brushes.
I just got one of his brushes too:

His carving skills are impressive. I love the almost folk art feel to them. I want another one now...
Me too. I think I want one of his bee-hives with a 3 band.

Not to turn this thread into a Jayaruh brush one but I believe, might be wrong, that he now accepts custom orders as well...
You are correct. Mine was by request.

He made one of mine to match my Wolf Whiskers Brush.
