Here is the completed brush from the above picture all ready for defunking and gift wrapping for a brother-in-law. It is cherry burl with a 22mm TGN boar knot.
This next one is Slippery Elm with a 20mm TGN boar knot for another nephew. It may be Red Elm but Slippery Elm sounds better.

The brushes look great.

Thank you, sir! The nephew seemed to appreciate the Elm brush.

Thank you gentlemen! I appreciate your comments!
I have not had the opportunity to play with buckeye burl. It is remarkable pretty wood.

The latest off the lathe has a Mesquite burl handle with a 22mm TGN boar knot set at about 50mm. Enjoy!

How about a barber's style brush? Figured Black Walnut handle with a White Birch burl cup. The 22mm TGN F2 Finest Badger knot required a 27mm hole in order to get it set with a loft of 50mm.
beautiful brushes Dave!

At long last, I completed a new handle for a good friend's Pillson synthetic that had a run in with a curious dog. I tried to duplicate the shape of the original in White Birch burl. CA finish.
These really are beautiful handles you're turning.

Thank you, sir.
Excellent work! Love the wood grain.
That Plisson synthetic is soooo nice. Much nicer than the original handle.

Thanks, I had forgotten that one.
I'm a sucker for burls, and those are some beautiful brushes!
