No. Those are made from a material called Polygem; It's probably the last set I will ever make with it. The stuff is a bear to work with. Originally Posted by Dllandry

I hadn't thought about brush handles, but I have everything here to make my own molds and I've found some resins that I'm happy with. I might have to give it a try...

Yeah I've been playing with some resins and molds as well. I broke down and bought a vaccume pump, pressure pot and air compressor. Having fun learning how to play with this stuff. Not to mention taking moldings of old intricate scales.

Thanked: 92 deer horn stand and brush
I made this stand and brush because I had some extra antler left over after making a set of scales and brush for a fellow forum member.

Thanked: 18 My first custom brush: Badger - Titanium - Maple
22mm Super Badger from The Golden Nib. The handle is maple finished with oil and wax. It is held to an aluminum disk with an M4 flat head stainless screw. The disk and a little bit of the handle are pressed and epoxied into a laser etched chunk of Ti tubing. Knot is epoxied into the Ti tubing. Haven't tested it yet since I just put the wax on this morning!
I also made a little carrying tube for it out of bigger diameter Ti tubing.
A more detailed construction log can be found on my blog: http://tooling-up.blogspot.com
Thanks for a great thread everyone!
