Just off the lathe yesterday , 3 new brushes and one that has been around for about a year
I was very unhappy with the brown synthetic that was in this handle so I thought I should do something about it . When I made it back then I really liked the Handle I set the knot and
used it a few time and then it just sat there ,,,,it looked dejected and it was not getting any use so out with the old and in with something new (TBD).
I buffed it and polished it and it still looks like new
The Maple handle is another piece from that same part of the tree that I have been finding gold in .
The first one in the picture has a Bocote top and a Cocobolo bottom both cross cut ( grain going side ways instead of up and down .
The last one on the far right is a piece of Cocobolo that I was able to use the cut off from and make my "Happy Sunshine" Brush with .
