Those are excellent!
I tried to make one but my turning skills suck. And that is being generous! lol
I bet it’s a pleasure to shave using one of those.
Great job Brandon.

could you send me info on how you did it because I just bought a shaving kit from PSI. Thanks

Thanks guys! The grain didn’t turn out very well in the photo, but I just love the padauk.

Very nice Brandon. It must be nice to shave with something you made yourself. They look really professional.

very cool. Does the neighbor know you took his tree?

Haha, I only took one limb and a dead one at that! :-) Actually he’s trying to get me some more of the wood. Pecan is such a beautiful color.

I really like the shave brush handles Brandon…..what are you using for finish?

Thanks Russell. I used Spar Urethane because these things see lots of water. :-)
