Finish is CA, wet sanded out to 2000, then finished with plastic cleaner/polish and automotive wax. Not perfect, but it's only my 3rd CA finish, so I'm learning. The knot is a 22mm Finest Badger Fan XH from the Golden Nib if you'd like to try one of your own. Comments and critiques are always welcome. -Joe -------------------- Fisher Woodcraft Post Extras:       Allen Honored Veteran Registered: 03/17/01 Posts: 7906 Loc: IL Re: Shaving brush [Re: Joe Fisher]       #6006339 - 07/25/12 06:57 PM Edit   Reply   Quote   Cool. Looks good to me. I made a brush and razor set for my Barber as a retirement gift. Al -------------------- Some people are like a Slinky.

It's a little soft, but it turns just fine with sharp tools. Burnishes up to a nice finish, too. -Joe -------------------- Fisher Woodcraft Post Extras:       kludge Lengthiest title wannabe Grizzly bear teaser & odd longer rambling question poser w/ an identity cri Registered: 07/02/08 Posts: 7193 Loc: Santa Rosa, Ca Re: Shaving brush [Re: Joe Fisher]       #6006565 - 07/25/12 10:34 PM Edit   Reply   Quote   I really like turning redwood! And it sands up SO easily! From here the CA finish looks flawless. I like the shape on this one.
