    Default Had a little time for brushes

    Hello all. Not much here. Just finished these today. Had to work an hour here and there but finally pulled it together. The two on the left are for a pair of brothers that are wet shavers themselves! They are 24 mm silvers with black lava acrylic handles. On the right is two best badgers. The white moon glow is for my sons birthday and last but not least the far right is mine. Finally had time to make something for myself!! Now I am working on a new grinder!!!
    As always comments and critique's are always welcome. Happy Birthday Muskeeman!!!
    Thanks for looking!!

    I just hope you set the nibs deep enough so they arent floppy. Nice work, looks good!

    Is there a set depth? Or is it a a guess?

    Those look real nice. I have a lathe set up but not ready to attempt anything that nice yet.
    And what's wrong with a floppy knot ? Some like it floppy and no there is no set depth. I think I saw gssixgun state that the manufacture makes them to set at the glue line on the knot. You can set it lower to get more backbone out of it. It's a matter of taste and how you use it :<0)
