Thank you. I made my first three handles from wood I had from a wild cherry tree that had been removed from my back yard. I used my table saw, a drum sander on a drill, and a drimmel to make them. I made my first 98 brush handles without the aid of a lathe. The, the gentleman that bought my house in 2013 gifted me his old lathe when he upgraded. From then on most of my handles were made with the use of the lathe. I still make some the old way from time to time. Most of them have been adopted out. I have owners in the USA, UK, Canadia, Denmark, Germany, Japan, Philippines, South Korea, New Zealand, Portugal, India, Italy, China, Albania, Australia, South Africa, Ukraine, and Texas. I have slowed down and only make brushes on request or when I get an itch. Here is the page on my shaving blog where I list all the brushes and their stats.
Good to see you here Toby. I only post on TSD and TOST3. I am on Straight Razor Place and Badger and Blade, but I rarely look at them any more. TOST3 is down to about 5 active members. I enjoy a no drama forum. I do post on a couple of Facebook shaving sites.
Thanks, Andreas, for your kind words.
