Another incredible brush Steve. I really like the shape and the grain is wonderful.
A Gift to make Smiles 🙂

So the thing I always seem to do is start another handle before I finish the first
It's going well but while I was waiting for things to dry I changed some grain direction and cut some 2 inch blocks and flipped them sideways and glued them together and I think it will turn out nice , same wood different direction

I like relative smooth American style handles without much ridges but lots of textures going on so I like the second much more (as I do you other glued ones).
That's absolutely gorgeous!
Smile guaranteed with that one.

I am drooling!
Omg - that'll be another beauty
I'm sorry to be increasingly repetitive when I see your work, but.... wow. Just wow.
That second picture is beautiful. I’m in awe of what a simple piece of wood can look like. Thanks for sharing.
Both handles look fantastic.

I will be posting both of these sometime next week when they are finished in a collaboration Pif from @Nick Obermire (thanks for the wood Nick) and myself. Both will be drilled out for a 26mm knots. Hopefully a quality knot that will be sent to me to set in the handle that you win.
And bringing Smiles to your face for sometime. So be watching.
Question for you guys , where should I post them ?

What a PIF(s) this will be.
You do nice work Steve!
I always enjoyed working with Chechen. Another more common name for it is Caribbean Rosewood.
It takes metallic dye like TransTint well and doesn't hide the grain. Using plain red, green or blue gives a crazy cool effect.
