Thread: Buffalo/Copper

The first shave brush I made 3 years ago is a similar build, but in blood wood and copper, best badger. I think I've refined my skills since then, and have been wanting to make another, this time out of horn and copper, 22mm Finest Badger.
Gave it a spin tonight, pretty happy with it, although the loft is little higher than I like. A 20-21mm would have given me the room I needed to set it lower, oh well...still happy with it.

That's gonna have some loft for sure, a great cream brush,,,,,,

That is a nice looking brush.
It has vintage, old-west look to my eyes.

I do want to try a long handled brush. That one looks great, once upon a time copper was a great sign of wealth, at least here it was.

Awesome looking brush, Good job !!

Measured around 55mm loft, 52mm might have suited me better. I let it play in the MDC tonight and it did fine just a little floppy

Didn't give it much thought, but yeah I see what you're saying. I like shiny copper!

What did you use to seal the copper?

I agree with Leatherstockings. It looks Old West.

Great job.

That looks fantastic,great Traditional style,A light coat of tung oil will keep the copper looking good for a long time.

I debated on sealing it, but ended up not doing it. It can be polished off. Plus it'll look like a completely different brush after some time if I leave it go. Might look cool with some corrosion maybe then I'll seal it
