Just wanted to share some preliminary photos of two brush handles I bought from someone on eBay called FrickWerkz. Both are quite large with the first being a 28mm, and the second a 30-32mm handle. Very tall, wide, and girthy I see from the specs. When I get them I will also post some photos of them next to some brushes for scale reference. There is a double benefit here in that he also has a YouTube channel. Many of the brushes he has turned make an appearance there, and a treat for those that like to see the brush handle being made. The first one I love already, but have a strong feeling when I see the second one it will likely become my favorite. That blue, purple, and copper/bronze/slightly goldish sure is hard to top though for me at least.

Yes they are. One thing I forgot to note is these are actually a bit unusual for him as I don't think I've seen any just pure resin brushes until now. Usually he does a cross of burl/resin hybrid brushes. All lovely in their own right! His recent one in a deep red resin and burl was particularly nice, just a tad too small for me at the moment. No knots in mind for these for the time being. I'll wait until the right knot strikes my fancy. I have a feeling it will be a Shavemac 2-band D01 ultimately. Maybe another extreme flat top.

I have two of his handles and the are very good. They are definitely on the big side. I put a 28mm shavemac 2band silvertip unique in one and still thinking about what I will put in the other. The handles feel great in the hand. I do like big handles though. I am thinking about a 26mm gelousy fan in the other one. Here are some comparison photos. The last photo is next to my brand new OKU Jerte which is awesome. 
Happy shaves

Does he only sell on ebay?

I believe so. There he says he’ll do custom orders though. I’ve definitely seen your brushes smurf!

The red white and blue handle is a custom I ask him to make for me. He has very reasonable prices. I had a problem with the first brush I got from him but he was very good to make it right. He was great to work with.
