This is a shaving brush that I turned for my Father. The handle is cocobolo. It is finished with Renaissance Wax and the brush knot is attached with epoxy. The brush is a luxurious silvertip badger hair because my Father deserves the best.

William, I think you did a great job on your fathers brush! Is it a secret or can you share your plan?I would like to know how you turned it because I am new at turning wood and how you put the badger hair in.Thanks. Randal.
I also think this is great, Was this a pre-made brush head(bristles), or did you put the bristles together yourself.
William,
The brush is beautiful and a heart-felt gift for your father. I too would be interested in not only the plan you used (or drew up) but also in the source for the badger bristles.

Thanks all! I got the brush from http://www.thegoldennib.com. I didn't really have a plan. I took the shaving brush my wife gave me from The Art of Shaving and used it as inspiration. Now I need to make myself one. I used a forstner bit in a drill chuck on my lathe to create the hole for the knot.
