Thread: Jurassic Park

Found this online. The maker made two brushes. Would’ve been so cool to own one. Does anyone recommend some custom brush makers?

Very clever design. The knot looks good too.

Harrywally and MikeB52 are members here that make some fine brushes

That is a super cool brush. If you are looking for the works of the guys making brushes check out these posts.

Probably amber and appears to be gem grade which means a very expensive piece.

Oh great, another cool item I'll never have! Wonder how it feels in the hand. Would this be difficult for most brush handle turners to work with?

That's how they got the DNA to clone those dina-saws.

You could use fake Amber and save a lot of money. It would probably be easier to find one that was the right size and looked nice as well.

Looks like cast resin with a mosquito hawk to me?

Could be.

If it was true Amber it would be an unusually good example not only for the Amber itself but for the unfortunate insect inside.

They sell this stuff called bioplastic made for making exactly what you see there to preserve all manner of critters. It's used mostly in educational settings. I've never seen it in color though, it's always crystal clear.

I reckon if that was a true prehistoric bug-in-amber, it would not have been made into a brush handle. Still, it's pretty cool!
