    Talking 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.

    Dave

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

    here are some "in progress" shots showing drilling and knot test fitting

    After a bit of work and some poly, here it is... design made real!

    Hope you like it!

    Oh Yeah ! Some nice curves in that brush
    The white gleam of swords, not the black ink of books, clears doubts and uncertainties and bleak outlooks.
