Thread: First attempt at brush

This my first try at making a brush. This is what I came up with by glueing contrasting woods together then turning them on the lathe. Now keep in mind that this needs to have a finish/sealer applied and the knot glued in. Opinions?
I'll post more pics after its completly done. I was going to use that new gorilla glue for the knot but decided to go with epoxy after I remembered how uncontroled the foaming of that glue is.

Very cool, the contrasting wood really makes it pop! Can't wait too see when the finish is applied.

nice work im loving the contrast i have alot of wood projects around the house that ive used hard maple and black walnut or wenge. right now i have a white walnut black walnut combo for some scales, if you ever think of making more pm me id love to have one.

Yes I do plan to make a few more I was thinking about mesquite or cherry and walnut. I have to wait til the wifes looking the other way to get a few more knots.

Be careful guys no sales or buys offers on the forum. Take it to a P.M

Very nice brush by the way.
