Hand-carved handle in dark Beech heart wood which has a nice bit of marbling. Stuffed with a 24mm, TGN 2-band finest badger knot.

My big Ash, American inspired barbershop style brush and an Omega 27mm boar doing the hair thing.

I never use sandpaper, preferring to leave a finely faceted, tooled finish straight off my very sharp carving knife. Harder to execute as there’s little room for error and requiring a deal more skill, it also leaves a tougher wearing surface. Better, more tactile grip too.

Just completed a handle in Oak so hopefully get a photo up soon.

Best,
Graeme
