Tooth brush kits

[keithlong]

Has anyone made up any of the tooth brush kits? My lovely wife is wanting me to make some for the grand kids? I am thinking that acrylic blanks would be the best for them since they will be getting wet. Any thoughts on other blanks or finishes that will work. I may try deer antler if I have any straight enough.

The handle is going to get wet, so something other than wood is probably best. Grandkids will probably enjoy some nice acrylic blanks.

IMHO, stick with acrylic, no antler. If you are casting, perhaps a favorite activity or cartoon in the casting?

Don't most kids use electric tooth brushes now?

Deer antler is somewhat porous. I would think it would harbor bacteria. Stabilized woods would probably be ok to use as they should be waterproof also.
