Good morning!
I recently got it in my head to maybe make my own brushes. There is nothing wrong with the 2 that I already have, I just want to start making my own scales, stands, burshes etc etc.
Anyhow, I very recently purchased 10 badger hair knots and 10 boar bristle knots and found a site on google that says " You lathe the block of wood into the shape you want and at one end drill a hole1/4 to 1/2 deep just wide enough for the wrapped end of the bristles to go into after glueing."
Is that really true? Is THAT all there is to making a handle?
I need to apologize now as I suspect there is a thread on here about making your own brushes, I couldn't find it though.
Thank you for reading this.
Paul
