Thank you for the pictures. They tell so nicely that you don't need to have zillion dollar workshop to produce beautiful items like this unique brush. All you need is few tools, imagination and skillful hands. Not many today has these.

Brad, that's easy the coolest brush I've ever seen. I love it. Thanks for sharing!

As far as bubbles and epoxy go, I mix small batches inside of a ziplock bag. I use resin research, or West Systems epoxy, and just pour both parts into a ziplock. After squeezing out all the air, you can seal the bag, then just squish the epoxy around for a good three or four minutes. I haven't had any problems with gooey, not mixed epoxy with this technique, and you end up with bubble free epoxy.

And I really like your brush. It would look great on a sailboat.

Nice work! For a heads up there is an epoxy that is used in making fly rods that dries very slowly and because of that bubbles are less of a problem.

Take care,
Richard

Nice one Brad. Even more impressive that it survived the evil Mr.Toes. Clever bugger pretending to sleep like that

If you don't already have it, may I recommend the Encyclopedia of Rawhide and Leather Braiding by Bruce Grant. Some neat knots in there too.
