Cherry Wood shaving brush handle (a work in progress)

i remembered that i had bought some cherry wood blanks for $1 at the local Rockler shop a while back. And i thought of making a handle. So i started looking at handle styles and after hours of searching i settled on one.



I knew that it was going to take me a long time to do this, because i don't have a lathe. And the dremel that i have is one with a rechargeable battery, so i have to stop working on it to let it charge. But it's alright, it will pay off in the end (i hope).



Here's how i started:





i drew the handle i was modeling mine after on all four sides of the wood





using a dremel and hand sanding, i started the long process of shaping it out







After sanding, sanding and more sanding. It started to take a better shape.





I bought a dremel multimax from a buddy of mine and it helped me sand the top part of it.







More sanding, and shaping. Dremel and hand sanding.
