    Default A brush just finished

    I made this one without the aid of a lathe. The blank is maple burl, and acrylic resin.

    Knot is a 24 mm Silvertip Grade A badger from The Golden Nib. Loft is 54 mm. Comments and tips welcome! Thanks for looking.

    My friends call me Bear.

    Excellent Pierre,
    how did you do it? It makes my brushes without a lathe seem gruesome by comparison.

    Drill press, clamps, some odds and ends, a beer or two... Oh, medical insurance!

    PM me, I can let you know what I did.

    That works great and is the same way I make mine. I have a threaded rod that I tightly screw into the end of my blank. I then chuck the other end into my drill press. Having a variable speed drill press helps.
    Awesome looking brush by the way, how do you cast your resin? Vacum or just let it sit in a mold?
