Absolutely gorgeous pieces of art! I was looking to Trade for a draw poker (after recently using a paper clip for this, and seeing how big of a difference it can make!) Well, to abridge the story: Troy (Boom) sent me a PM with a link to a gallery of his hand-made draw tools. From the symmetry, I assume he uses a lathe, and is damn good at it! So, I requested a deep blood red wood, his decision which (Padauk got chosen) and sent him a picture of one of my favorite shaving brushes to model the draw tool's handle off of.
Here's the brush in question:
In less than a week, He had the handle done, then fitted it with a poker (Nice and sharp at the end, with flute cuts on the shaft to help cut through any blockage)
Now, I have the tool, and it's gorgeous... Here are some pictures for you guys so that you don't have to listen to me anymore! I honestly couldn't be happier with this guy!
