Thanks @stone and strop and @Jim99.

Thanks @greydog I'm combining your previous advice which definitely helped with recent advice from @CigarSmoka and @D.S Thomson. The finish has been going much better on the other two. I have switched from using paper towel to apply with a rubber glove and using very little CA and spreading it very thin. The advice was actually all pretty similar but sometimes it takes hearing/reading something multiple times slightly different ways for things to click. At least for me. I turned 43 today and I still struggle with a lot of the terms and proper usage in English classes for my kids.

HAPPY Birthday Greg A not E

Thanks @Graydog I'm surprised it still tagged someone with the wrong spelling. But like I said English ain't my strong suit.

That's kinda funny. Well at least you saw the post inspite of my grammatical ineptitude.

Nice job on those, and Happy Birthday.

Thank you. And thank you. It was a good day. My wife leaves for work before I get up so my sweet kids brought me breakfast in bed. They are 11, 8 and 6 so it was oatmeal that was not well made, a banana and a bottle of Kefir. The oatmeal was literally barely eatable but it was a fantastic breakfast.

And here are the other two brushes over been working on. I need to figure out what knot yo put in the shorter handle. It's drilled for a 26mm. I will be keeping these two since a good friend of mine has more brushes that I've made than I do. I figure it's time to treat myself to some of my work.

LOVE that segmented keyhole with a boar! The olivewood is a beauty too. You just can’t go wrong with olive, even a bad piece still looks pretty good.

Thank you. The maple segment came from @Graydog and that wonderful tree. When I was originally turning a maple handle the knot cup split and was not salvageable. I didn't want to waste the rest so segmentation occured. When it's all said and done I wonder how many brushes will have come from that fabulous tree.

Here is the Olive wood handle finished with the two band badger knot in. Also a razor which I did some work on. The scales just needed some refinement and a new finish.
