Shave Brushes

[LanceD]

Last week I ordered a few badger shave brushes from Anthony and had a couple of hours to turn them this morning. The first on the left is Violet and Teal Box Elder Burl, the middle one is an acrylic bottle stopper blank and the third is Blue Dyed Maple all from AS.

Very nice work. I like the middle one best.

Ditto!

Lance,
Really nice work! I would assume they are turned similarly to a bottle stopper. I am going to try them real soon. My eyes are drawn the center one also, but I got a feeling, that if I were to see them live, I might like the elder burl best. Assuming they are going to get wet, what did you finish the wooden ones with?
Thanks

Gary, BB has some real nice looking acrylic bottle stopper blanks from Berea that's a perfect size for these brushes. I really liked the violet and teal so I decided to throw away my old brush and will keep that one for myself. The wooden ones are stabilized so wetting them will be no problem. I sanded to 800 grit and polished on my three buff system.

Ok, I'll ask. Who is Anthony?

Anthony Turchetta, aka Penchetta, PenWorks...from Cave Creek, AZ. He posts here lots...may even have the highest post count. If he isn't playing golf he may even see your question...[]
Do a good turn daily!

I like the wood/material of the one on the left with the shape of the middle one.

 

[Gary Max]

Heck the one on the left----wood is still #1 here.

Nice job. I am getting ready to turn some myself. I am partial to the wood myself.

They all look great.

Look nice, of course since I haven't shaved really since maybe 1978 I don't have much experience in the use of these. [8D]

Lance,
Those are nice... always looking for things to add to my turnings..
I'm new so the reference to Anthony doesn't mean anything to me yet... who is he and where would I get the brushes?[]

 

[LanceD]
