Omega 10098 MOP

I like this boar model and as cheap as it is, one of my favorites with my higher end brushes. But I’ve never really liked the poorly made handle. So I turned one out of poly MOP tweaking the profile to suit me. Much improved feel.

Thanks guys. The material I’m not sure how I feel about yet but the weight and feel of the increased width are big improvements to me. I’ll probably do another in a faux ivory or something I tend to like. I’ve pretty much only turned wood and metal until this MOP handle and it was more of a prototype or test run for me really as I begin to play with these cast materials. I had to take this one down quite a bit which is funny since it ended up so plain and columnar. It did take a little different technique than what I was previously more familiar with, so it was a successful experiment.
 
What is MOP? I like the pearlescent of it.

Yep, sorry about the abbreviation. Probably should have avoided that.
Mother of Pearl. I have a love/hate of the stuff. Looks cool to me but also looks 70s disco in a way. Especially if you remember the old MoP toilet seats they used to make :-O
