    Default Brush Bowl

    No, it's not the latest football game. I was in a mood to take some pics and took one of my shaving bushes. Here 'tis:



    The little one in the foreground is my first brush, a Simpson 'Special', the rest are; left to right:

    My ebony Edwin Jager, Simpson Harvard # 4 and my wife's burl Edwin Jager. The Harvard #4 is my most used brush...my fave so far.

    Beautiful brushes Cliff and Peter!

    Peter I must say that I'm much more interested in the bowl you are using to display your brushes. What can you tell me about it?

    Ron and Peter: I just know you're using Dutch to curse at the rest of us.
    Take care,
    Rik

    Sorry, it's me with the burl bowl. I recently picked it up while vacationing in the Berkshires. The artist, who's name I can't remember now (I'll ask SWMBO) uses downed trees and trees which are spalted (rotten), he turns the trunks and makes bowls leaving the natural bark on for contrast.
    =========
    Found name : The Bowl artist/woodworker is Kenneth Dubay, we bought the bowl at a Lennox MA gallery. His work is well known, a local casino owning Indian tribe has given his bowls to seven Governors as gifts. Also noticed many burl bowls on web searches.

    The brush bowl should be an annual event between
    Oregon State and Wisconsin....
    After Monday and Tuesday, even the rest of the week goes W T F

    Of course it's dark, it's a suicide note.

    Maybe Arkansas [Razorbacks] instead?

    Cripes! I'm afraid to ask, when it comes to razors, how many you've got.
