    Default New brush project

    Just finished this one. Marine epoxy has to cure. Brush base is an old briar carved pipe. I removed the stem and filled bowl with plastic wood after scraping it out.

    All you have to do now is get some tobacco scented soap.

    Actually I coated the outside with Superglue and scraped abd sanded the inside of the bowl. Almost no odor at all.

    What a great idea!
    I've looked at many items differently in pursuit of building materials yet never did this occur to me..
    Do you mind if I make myself a pipe brush?
    Perhaps a Wosty Pipe razor in a travel set along with a Celebrated Pipe Brush...

    Now... how about ideas on a shave bowl along the same lines...?
    Any ideas gentlemen?

    Be my guest and go for it. I did this on a whim. It came with a travel double edge. Thought I would give it a go just for the heck of it.

    Now that you mention a shave bowl, I have an idea for you. How about a coconut shell? Cut one piece for the base and a larger one for the bowl. You would have to polyurethane the iside and outside.,Name: 1532825927074-1256036691.jpg Views: 121 Size: 32.1 KBName: 1532826025196152362945.jpg Views: 122 Size: 34.0 KB
