Brush handle, part 2

Kevin was good enough to mail his premium badger hair brush to me so I could cut the required hole to size.


Fresh from the pressure pot, the blank was screwed to a plate and mounted on the lathe.


Cutting away the paper mold.


Not pictured is cutting out the hole for the brush. Here the blank has been turned down to round.


After shaping, the blank is sanded up to 800 grit.


Polish and wax application.


Removing the blank from the turning plate.


Cutting away the base.

Shaping and polishing the cut end took place by hand. Here's the finished brush!
