Bookmatched black walnut & burl badger in barber brush

[LJS]

Unintentional alliteration there……but I tried some bookmatching with black walnut and burl. I glued it up some time ago but finally turned it a couple of weeks ago. Decided on a barber style with longer handle. Finally finished up with CA yesterday. Came out pretty good but I now wish I had put a contrasting veneer between the walnut and burl just to make them stand out better. No complaints though!

Yeah, those aren’t hard to look at.

I like that you took the time to put the dot's in the under ring

Thank you - I have a hard time not adding some texture detail somewhere!
