Sounds like a turning tool's worst nightmare! Especially when there's 30 or 40 of them to make ;-)Have a pocket knife with a very old-style Damascus blade and bog oak scales, and they are all but indestructible. Dark black in color, with a tactile feel that's hard to describe - satiny-soft, warm and smooth, but so hard it's un-dentable, and so far impervious to anything dropped-in, spilled-on or carried-with. It feels like wood, with no finish that I can tell, and in very, very bright light has a deep, dark grain running through it, but it's very un-wood-like in durability. It would make an awesome brush handle.
I might be able to get behind that, even though I don't need another brush. I snatched up the 1st brush he made with his then new Faux Ivory stick a few years ago, Persian Jar; Rudy has nailed the PJ shape.
