Beautiful work Spindle.

I really like it.

 

[Snargle]

I would never own a brush like that...first, I couldn't afford it. Second, I'd be afraid to use it for fear of damaging it!

Honestly, it's a gorgeous work of art. I am soooooo jealous!

I call them BUBBA
The 30 set at 52 is the greatest face lathering machine I have ever used,bar none.
Using P160 this A.M I was in heaven,going to make me a seven day set
Back in a couple weeks.
The sucker bloomed like you would not believe.

Really Nice! Bet that ivory has some stories...
How do you join the wood and ivory together? It looks perfect.

Thx
Both ends to be joined are machined drop dead perfect flat,blind 1/4in hole is bored dead center in each piece about 3/8s deep.
one piece remains centered in the chuck,liberal amounts of epoxy are applied.
Both pces are clamped overnight using the tailstock with a live center.
The blind hole forms a solid epoxy dowel of sorts,you can see no glue lines on my two part handles.

Gorgeous brush!

Now I'm pondering a 30 mm ....

 

[spindlecone]

Ponder long and hard Grasshopper,for The 30 is not to be taken lightly.
Only real men can bring it to full potential

Well in that case maybe I need a 40 mm....
