Thread: Been making some brushes...

I have completed a new brush in Key Hole shape made of Bolivian Rosewood. The knot is TGN two band finest and the finish on the handle is multiple coats of CA polished to a shine. This is my first key hole shaped handle. I think it came out well.

Brush Dimensions (approximate):

Total height: 108mm
Handle: 60mm
Loft: 48mm
Knot: 25mm bulb shape

That came out very well! Good job.

I also made a PR handled brush with a Mx type of shape. The resin blank is called Abalone and is pretty amazing in real life. Pictures rarely capture the beauty of resins.

Brush Dimensions (approximate):

Total height: 107mm
Handle: 55mm
Loft: 52mm
Knot: 28mm Bulb shape

Here are the other restores:







And here are my shop-made ones.

This is the first one made with a table saw and a sander. The finish is two ton epoxy painted on thick. It's like glass. I like this finish.



Here are some drill press turned pieces:

I like the last 2 best, but all of them are nice.

All great stuff guys,thx for showing them.
I like to blend the Acrylesters with natural materials.

That is awesome. I have not been brave enough to try it, but will at some point.

Brush Dimensions (approximate):

Total height: 96mm
Handle: 46mm
Loft: 50mm
Knot: 26mm bulb shape

Second one is in French Green Dymndowood and TGN two band finest fan shaped knot.

Brush Dimensions (approximate):

Total height: 109mm
Handle: 61mm
Loft: 48mm
Knot: 27mm Fan shape

The third brush is in Royal Jacaranda with a TGN synthetic knot.

Brush Dimensions (approximate):

Total height: 110mm

Hope you enjoy them!
