Thread: Been making some brushes...

post your creations in the brushmakers Alcove guys,thats why big created it,I have never seen any talk of sales tho,perhaps they were deleated.

I have created a brush in Bethlehem Olivewood handle and TGN two band badger. This brush came out really well. The wood is very beautiful. My first olivewood turning and I am absolutely in love with this material. The knot is one of the best I've gotten from TGN. It is almost perfectly shaped, the hair is of excellent quality. Super soft tips and amazing backbone and density.

Total height: 110mm
Handle: 60mm
Loft: 50mm
Knot: 28mm Bulb shape

WOW that looks great! I love the color it came out to be!!!!!!!! Fantastic work!

I have completed a new brush. This one is made with Tambootie wood that has a dark and light wood in it. It is absolutely stunning. The light side has a knot coming in from the dark side. It is really a beautiful piece of wood. I finished it with CA for water-proofing and I polished it to a high gloss.

Thank you for that information. It did smell very good, but to me it was more cedar-like than sandalwood, but now that I know, I will smell sandalwood It is very lovely wood to turn, look at and smell. Of course the brush handle will no longer smell since it is sealed with the CA finish.

Looks good, love the simple elegant shape of the handle.
