Shaving notes of the MaineYooper

Eew! So sorry for your troubles Eric, but kudos on the perspective change. Mama said there’d be days like this.

Yikes, that doesn't sound like a fun start to the week at all.

Well, at least you can see the silver lining. Hope your day gets better, and the week to follow.

Hoping for a happy Tuesday for ya!

Nothing important to record, other than how impressed I am with my kit this week! 


Brush today was Northeast Ice with the G5A knot. I think that handle is holding the record for the most different knots! But I think this is the final one. I need to get a snap shot of it soon!

The scuttle looks sharp. That's ceramic, though... right? Way too dangerous in my den. I need nerf everything.

Which one is Northeast Ice? I see what looks like a cashmere, a Synbad, and a G5C maybe?

I just put in an order for a G5C. I need to see if it lives up to it's predecessor (2BED). It has big shoes to fill. Lol.

Hope your Tuesday is going well!

This is Northeast Ice, but with the faux boar (which I can send to you as a Christmas present!?) 


And this is the G5A in a handle that now has a 2BED in it. 


And I am also worried about breaking the brush warmer! I am not always fully coordinated early in the morning!

Lol, no thank you. I've had my share of that Faux Boar. One use is plenty.

Ahh, gotcha. I was confused when I did t see it in the picture. Those two oughta look good together.

Here is Northeast Ice with the G5A knot, with 2 quarters added to get the top of the glue bump just below the top of the socket.

As I suspected, that's very nice looking.

Allow me to introduce, Laminar Flow. 



I have 3 more handles of wood turned by Paul. As I use them, maybe a name will strike me as fitting. I had a total of six, one of which was also a layered, but dyed, birch wood, which I called Groovy. It was sold this summer. And I had two statin finish maple wood handles, that I set with timberwolf knots and donated to a charity thread here on DFS.

I am considering Mirkwood for the cocobolo wood with the 2BED knot, for it is dark, and the knot was "scary" at first, being a so different from a SynBad knot. But Mirkwood also had bright, wholesome areas, like where Legolas was from. So I like the name.

That leaves a larger, high gloss Maple handle with a 'yuge' SynBad fan in it, and the unique eucalyptus wood handle, that has a lot of character. We shall see, yes, we shall see what they want to be called.

Very cool Eric! I dig the names and look forward to what you come up on the other wood ones!
