Lathe projects ~ brush & razor handle

[Alshain]

Evening,

I've finally had some spare time to start using my TGN knots!
The following were a quick afternoon job. They need a few more coats of Danish oil before they go anywhere near water, but overall I'm happy with how they turned out.

Brush:
Knot from TGN - black badger $26.05 inc shipping - after conversion to Aus dollar
Handle - red mahogany ~$0.50
Razor:
Gillette slim twist from ebay (1971) $15.00 inc shipping - handle removed
Handle - shea oak ~$0.75

Cheers, Alshain

Absolutely awesome work, Alshain. Love the brush in particular, although the razor came up really well. Kudos to you

We may just have an Aussie artisan brush maker on our hands.

Great work and lovely looking results!!! What an upgrade for the very average handle on the Gillette Twist! [emoji106]

Thanks all!
Sadly I don't have enough time to even think about lathing brushes to sell.

Cheers, Alshain
