Shaving Brushes

[eskimo]

I just finished these brushes last week.

From left to right, Spalted Tamarind with a Blue Lapis cup to hold the brush, Amboyna Burl with a Damascus Steel collar, Brown Mallee Burl with blue resin and Russian Bog Oak.

I use a Sony 6 megapixel Cybershot mounted on a tripod. I set the piece in a small lightbox (do a google search on 'tabletop photo studio') and let the lighting diffuse through the sides of the box. I use Photoshop Elements to crop the photo, insert the border and place the name at the bottom.

Simply can not pick a favorite out of that batch. They are all super in their own way. Some of the finest I have seen. The Damascus Steel collar is really unique. Does Damascus Steel rust? That would be my only concern with it. Great selection, great turning.

The Damascus Steel is a M3 Metal product with a resin component that eliminates the potential to rust. It's great for this application.

What did you use to finish the Bog Oak brush?

Great looking brushes! I like all four but I especially like the second and third ones because of the wood/resin combinations, and shape.

What did you use to finish the Bog Oak brush?

8 coats of Waterlox, 7 of Original and a final coat of high gloss.

Great looking brushes! I used to restore antique brushes and actually got into wood turning so I could make my own. It's now a year later I just got around to starting on brushes and shaving kits. Your work is good inspiration. Thanks for posting!
