"Its a swiss piece, totally neutral." ...now that is funny!

Bravo my good man! Love the progress on the bishop. Thank you for posting pictures of your artistry. I really like the contrast of the black and white badger hair with the white and ebony wood of the rook. I look forward to seeing your endeavors in the Vendor's corner. Let us know when we can purchase these amazing pieces!!

Almost done. This one will be able to accommodate a knot from 24mm-26mm.

Impressive...most impressive! Keep up the execellent work

When you start making brushes let us know. I want to get another badger brush.

Have you ever used Alaskan Yellow Cedar?

**Carbonsteel928** · 08-21-2009, 03:10 PM

I've used a few different cedar types but opt to limit my work with them. I found out the hard way that cedar doesn't mix me.... I have to wear a rebreather and a full protective suit on top of downing a couple of benydril.

Well, this will be the website. I once made custom equipment for dogs, ie ... treadmills, beds, houses, etc... and once I got deployed, the website remained under my ownership, thus the name, Customk9gear. Anyway, here it is... www.customk9gear.com

looks awesome

You should post mine when its ready I can't wait

**Carbonsteel928** · 08-21-2009, 03:43 PM

I sure will. Its still sitting in oil, relaxing and recouping after its long travels. The head has been returned and its shaping out to look great. I'm still waiting on some more cocobolo that looks nearly as good as yours.

I got your PM and thanks for the information. I think I will still proceed with my original plan, although it may include sacrificing a cheap handle on one of my brushes, no loss though.

**Carbonsteel928** · 08-22-2009, 03:01 PM

Sounds good, best of luck. :-D

You should make set of custom chess pieces or brushes. You know how many nerds ( myself included ) would buy them?
