This is one of a few shaving brushes my son-in-law has made. He was wanting to sell them on E-bay but I take them first! Your opinions are welcome good or bad. Thanks for looking :beer1:

I really like the patterning in the wood. How do they feel in the hand?
I like post # 2 best.
I feel real good and it fits on the stand good . I need to take a picture of the stand but my picture taker just went to bed ;)Quote:

A very nice piece and pictures and stories about them are most welcome however talk of selling is not allowed on the open forum.
I will look back but I don't remember talking about selling. :DQuote:

Nice looking burl handles.
The handles probably need a couple of coats of lacquer, shellac, varnish, etc. instead of wax.
I am glad you knew what kind of wood it was :rofl2: I think one of those brushes is made out of a bird eye maple . I can't remember what kind of wood they are carved from. I can't tell you why the wax but your hand doesn't slip from the handle. :)Quote:

What knots is he using, and what size?
I can tell you the knot is big I have a size 16 plisson which is a large size, but I can't tell you how big the knot is. I will ask. If you are making them order the big knot . :rofl2: I like them better myselfQuote:

Absolute beauties. The finishing looks amazing as well.
I personally love my larger sized plisson knots as well. Thanks for sharing.
Does your son-in-law still make these? If so, are they available for purchase?
Thank you

If this is the proper place, what epoxy do craftsmen use when securing a knot to a handle?
