Nice job. Those SHD knot are pretty nice, IMO.
Thanks, Oscar how long have you been making handles?Nice job. Those SHD knot are pretty nice, IMO.
@greydog Thanks, I appreciate it. I've been turning for quite awhile. I'd say about 20 years or so. I got interested in making coyote calls and it just grew from there. I've been a wet shaver my entire life (66 years old). When I started looking for straight razors I found a few shaving forums and the rest is history. I don't sell any brushes but just make them for my experiments.
What is G10 ?Gosh G10 would be a hell of a handle material. Talk about a brush that would last several lifetimes.

Very interesting. Thanks for the info!It actually isn't too bad to work with, though it wouldn't breath it in. I would say it is similar to working with iron wood. I use it for knife scales and the end result is quite wonderful, kind of a synthetic grain that really pops when you finish it with linseed oil.
