Some recent shaving brushes

[RodN]

A few of the shaving brushes that I have made recently:

Lignum Vitae is a dense and heavy waterproof wood!

Jade resin with nickel silver top, engraved with a Celtic knot.

(Briar Burl wood)

(Kenya Steatite stone)

Roman vase shaped handle with a real Roman Maximinus (235-238 AD) coin inset into the base.

Yup, some levely stuff there.

Like the "roman" one especially, looks very very classy. What material is that ?

Inspiration for the Roman Vase shaped handle came from a real Roman vase...

and this is one is the first one of that shape that I made from stone...

Lovely mix of materials and findings, Rod! Thanks for sharing.



Oh I do hope Grump doesn't spot your reference to 'briar burl'! We'll never hear the end of it ...

The good quality Briar Burl is wickedly expensive stuff to buy!
I have a customer in Italy who sent me a few pieces, on the understanding that I would make a brush for him from one of them.
I jumped at the opportunity

They are lovely, all well turned and finished

Great style to all of them Rod - might even try to use one now that I've seen them, I guess you just need to allow a bit more time

 

[Jim]

Love them Rod, very nice indeed ..

I buy burl wood in whatever size I can get hold of, and then cut it up.
