I started to get a little bored just turning pens all the time. Someone asked me about shaving brushes with wooden handles and I was intrigued. After researching the idea and importing brush heads from China, here is what I came up with:
While I don't plan on finishing the Cocobolo ones (the wood is oily enough to protect it from water), I will need to do something with the other woods. Any advice is appreciated, but keep in mind that I do not want to put a built up finish like poly on them. I want to use a penetrating oil that will protect the wood and be easily renewed by the customer every so often. I'm thinking a Tung Oil blend would be good but I have no experience with this type of finish...:help:
