Shaving Brush collaboration

[Anthony Penchetta]

Steve from Pen Artistry moved into town awhile back, he glues up some really nice segmented pen blanks, so he stopped by the shop with a few large blanks I could turn into shaving brushes. The large blank has 60 pieces of Maple, Wenge and Rosewood. The small one has 42 pieces of Maple, Wenge and Ebony. I would not have the patience for making these types of blanks, but they sure turn out wonderfull, Thanks Steve

Tony,

Those are beautiful. They're a future heirloom, for sure.

[Joe Adams]

Very functional and very cool. Nice work!

[John Keeton]

The blanks are very nice, but without good turning, any blank can look pretty pitiful. You did right by these!!

[Roger Chandler]

What a great project! Nicely segmented and nicely turned! What a great gift that would make for fathers day, with a cup and some shaving soap.

Where do you get the bristles for the brushes?

[Steve Schlumpf]

Anthony - as always - very nice work!

[Nick Fournier]

You can buy the knots at www.thegoldennib.com, I've bought a few from there and the knots are great. There's nothing like shaving with a great soap and badger brush.

Tony, you did a great job on some classic brush handle shapes with those beautiful glue ups. And, for you others, when you deal with The Golden Nib you are dealing with Anthony Penchetta who made these brushes. The "Nib" is an excellent source for pen turning and shaving supplies and Tony is one of the nicest vendors to deal with.

Anthony those are really nice. Those segments are tiny, I'm with ya that would take a special patience. I've been wanting to try some of the shaving brushes. Looks like a great project.

[Baxter Smith]

Nice looking blanks and nice job turning them.

[Jim Shaver, Oakville Ont]

Very nicely done my friend

[Anthony Penchetta]

Thanks for the comments I ussually do 2-4 segmented handles, but nothing like this. I will leave these blanks up to Steve to make.

[John Hart]

I love these!!! Wonderful job Anthony.

'course then....I'll never make one. All the guys I know are a bunch of knuckle-dragging cave-dwelllers....kinda like m'self. But, I noticed that the golden nib website also has Black Sable cosmetic brush thingies for sale too.

I definitely smell a ladies gift here.

Very nice.

[Jon Lanier]

Those are sweet! I'd like to learn to do segmenting that small like that... where I can just change designs....
