Handmade Brush, (boar this time) in Walnut
Hey everybody... still working on brushes
This one was made using a 28mm boar knot this time (by special request), again in my absolute favorite--Claro Walnut!
I hand shaped this from one block of walnut, and finished it with satin poly.
So far, none of my brushes have been the same design, and this one certainly is unique..
Here are some pics (the brush stands on end, but I have it laying down b/c I was having a hard time getting the color right without putting it on this white cloth... this was the easiest way- I suck at photoshop).
I'll include some "in hand" pics soon, but I'd like to know what you think.

First, I drew up the design and overlaid it on the wood in order to pic the best piece for grain and figure.
