Jayaruh #23 Bird's Eye Maple

I made this handle from bird's eye maple. The knot is a 24 mm silver tip badger from Whipped Dog Shaving. I did a test lather with the brush today. I rinsed it well and towel dried it. I set it aside to dry. It is not quite dry yet, but I couldn't help but to take a few pictures as it is beginning to bloom.

First shave slated for October 15.
