Now that's a nice chunk of wood! I made this shaving brush (the photo shows several different angles) this week from thuya burl. The wood is well-cured, so I am hoping that the turnings don't change in shape too much. The wood is not soft, but definitely not hard either. It loads up sandpaper quickly, so it pays to cut the shape you want with your turning tools.
It sure is beautiful isn't it? I almost didn't send it to the customer -- but then I would just have to make another one. If I really need one for myself, I'll just have to make it!
