    Default I love the smell of ebony and silvertip in the morning...

    this one is almost done! Black and white ebony, TGN 22mm silvertip knot. Ebony turns real nice compared to that live oak I used for the boar.

    Love the shape! What are you going to use for a finish? I have some Tung oil coming from Don McIvor I am going to try on oily tropicals.

    Beautiful! I have a b/w ebony in PJ with 22mm best on it's way from Rudy. But the shape on that one is pretty sweet.
    Note to self: contribute so I can have my cool sig again :)

    Finish? Probably go with teak oil again with some sort of poly over top maybe. I need to make sure the finish is a little thicker on this one, the boar I just got done I need to refinish.

    I was looking at brushes last night and for some reason a Simpsons Eagle with the knob at the end popped into my head during the last 10 min of shaping. I was like HEY! If I take this piece of blade steel scrap, grind it square, and use the chainsaw file to make a half round right in the middle, I can make a little knob cutter! It went from thought to done in less than 5 min.
