Thread: Manchurian Silver tip knots now what?

So here was my process...
found a piece of firewood, chopped it into a square, shaped it with a saw, drilled the hole and let it spin on the drill while holding sand paper of different grits until I didnt have anymore patience. found some oil oil I used on my deck, and some marine contact glue set the knot...not square, not a circle...definitely not fancy but it turned out OK looking.. Will give it a try tomorrow.

I love it! wonderful grain and color.

Are you on crack. That looks awesome. The wood figuring is really cool.

Thank you but I see a lot of true craftsmen here and I was a powerdrill away from "bushcraft". I still have one more knot I think I will try something more traditional next time.

Nice work, looks great. That is definitely a BFK, you might need an extra puck of soap.

####FINAL REPORT####

So the first shave with the new brush
Yes this brush holds a TON of soap. Which is good because I like variety.
If you can imagine what it would feel like to get licked in the face by a huge lion or another animal with a giant warm tongue with enough scruff and backbone but soft at the same time ....it was like that. I found myself lathering maybe more than I should enjoying the fruit of my labor.....UNTIL I dropped my razor in the sink chipping the porcelain (blamed it on the 4 yr olds hot-wheels) and cut my finger of all things...finished the shave wondering why the shave felt so bad then noticed some chips in the blade as well... So I moved the razor into last position and grabbed a fresh one.. I will start a new handle this weekend

Nice job. I just picked up a resin handle from Larry for making my first brush...I wanted a handle already made to take out some of the "guess work"....well maybe there isn't that much guess work but I wanted to save making my own handle for my second brush!

Those knots look huge though! And here I thought my 24mm was too big

ps, I see your natty beard oil!

I guess the good thing with firewood is that you were going to burn it anyway, so if it all goes wrong you can still burn it and have lost nowt.
