Lovely bowl, scooby (and linus)

That is awesome. Love it

I'm just blown away by this.

If you are selective and accept that more expensive bristles are better, you should be ok. I belive only china allows badger farming, so it will be from there anyway.

Can I ask - how long for melamine lacquer to dry? And how many coats?

But PRACTISE on a waste piece. I screwed up some shaving razor handles big style with super glue. Don't ruin your lovely finished piece!

How about finding a local buddy with a bigger capacity lathe? How big is it?

And ha'penny chews - don't exist, except in twos 🤣🤣

Just check screw fix or tool station - plenty of variety that will suit different tasks

Very nice, sir.

Only 24?. Come on, man, get it together! 😁
