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.

Another Beautiful Brush,,,,,Attachment 136547
Excellent Pierre,
how did you do it? It makes my brushes without a lathe seem gruesome by comparison. :p

Drill press, clamps, some odds and ends, a beer or two... Oh, medical insurance!
PM me, I can let you know what I did.
without a lathe. hmmm. this looks like a future challenge to myself. nice job
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.Quote:

Lay the wood (burl trimmings) flat in a tray, brush the surface with resin, paying close attention to the tiny nooks and crannies, then a slow pour from one corner with the tray tilted say at 30 degrees. Pour from the bottom, allowing the resin to flow slowly, minimizing air pockets, as the tray fills, slowly lower it. I don't have a vacuum set up yet, and am not sure if I will get one. I will likely source the blanks for the amount of brushes I will make. Unless things change.
Looks great Pierre. Well done!
Nice looking brush there Pierre, I like the contrast of the 2 materials. Nicely done sir.
Thank you gentlemen, I appreciate it.
Very nice looking brush, like the mixture of different materials, Well done!
You all know, at one time there were no such things as power tools.
A very nice brush by the way.
Cannot add much except to say Job Well Done! One of a kind! :tu
