Back in November, I was going through the B&B forum and saw a gorgeous slanted brush Rudy Vey had made for another board member. At the same time, I discovered about ancient Kauri wood and thought it would be super cool to have a slanted brush made with that type of wood. Two months later, this is exactly what I got from Rudy - these are the original pictures he took, as I have been too lazy to take any of my own.

Very nice. I would love to see some pics after you have used your brush a few times.
Ahh, ancient Kauri, the world's oldest workable timber from New Zealand. Each Kauri tree grew for at least 1200 years and then was preserved underground for a further 50, 000 years!!!
I have a Kauri razor and brush stand (from Goodfella razors in new Zealand).
Did Rudy source the timber or did you?
Congratulations on a beautiful acquisition!

That's gorgeous. Did you go for a Shavemac knot?
There is an outfit here in the USA where I bought the wood from. Then I sent it out to be resin stabilized.
Even better to learn that it's stabilised. Do you have any material left? If so, I feel an RV custom may be on the cards. Even better if we can work on a Kauri handle that will be accommodated by the Kauri stand I already have. I'll PM for further details if you accentuate the positive.

I will try to take some tomorrow and then update the post. I have used it only 6 times so far, so it hasn't fully bloomed yet.

I see that Rudy already answered your question for you. I like that stand you've got... now you gave me an idea!
