Some new Handles!

Here are a few handles that I have been occupying my free time with, thought you guys might enjoy.

Very nice! I especially like the green and yellow ones.

They look great!

All I'm saying is wow! Every time you turn around someone on this forum is turning out some beautiful stuff. I love all the skills I see on B&B. Everyone of those handles looks great. What size knots are you fitting them with? I wish I had that much talent.

What is the material? Acrylate? Catalin?

That yellow one is awesome. Very nice work. You should sell some of them you make to fund your hobby. They would be gone in a flash.

I plan on selling them as handles only once I have a few more made, but I don't know if it is better to set the hole diameter and depth or let the purchaser decide what they want. Personally I would like to have the choice available but I realize for some that may leave too many options available making knot selection difficult. Any opinions on this?

I would set the knot diameter and and sell them as handles only so the buyer could choose their own knot.

Here is one more, I like how this one turned out, It has a recessed hole opening so there is a bit of cradling on the knot. I think once this has a knot in it it will be fantastic!






Anyone know if there is more variety with 22mm or 24mm diameter knots? If I go ahead and bore them out how deep should I go? The loft is what characterizes the brush and I would hate to short change someone because of the depth.

And I keep forgetting about this little guy.

Just spin these up on a lathe, do you? They look great!

Thank you, Some of these blanks have a mind of their own they seem to choose their own shape no matter what I want them be. This should be pretty evident with the wide variety of handle types produced.

I drilled these and made one more, a flared bronze with a recessed knot.

Those are really, REALLY nice handles!

looks like the new lathe is "turning"out quite nicely;]i like the looke of the flared ones,they look similar to the e-r handles i got from you to restore.

Wow! I love them make a deep purple one and I'll buy it. Good job. It helps to have the proper tools.
