So I was rummaging around the Scary Basement and found a couple scraps of cocobolo and a piece of black buffalo horn. Anybody with half a brain would've thrown them out. Instead, I glued them up into a turning block and made a brush:
The angle of the photos makes the piece look lopsided, which it's not. The finish is three coats of CA, polished with carnauba wax. The knot is my last remaining Whipped Dog 24mm silvertip, set at about 47-48mm.
Would've been a bit nicer if I'd had one block that I could've cut in half and matched the grain on either side of the buffalo horn a little better, but all in all this one didn't come out too badly.
