Thread: Been making some brushes...

I have created a large knotted brush with TGN finest and a resin handle in so-called Abyss pattern. Very cool looking material.

Brush Dimensions (approximate):

Total height: 102mm
Handle: 49mm
Loft: 53mm
Knot: 29mm Bulb shape

Another brush. This one is set in a handle made from Dakota Dymondwood. I decided to not make this one super-shiny. This one features Whipped Dog High Mountain badger knot. It appears to be very similar to TGN finest in all respects.

Brush Dimensions (approximate):

Total height: 105mm
Handle: 55mm
Loft: 50mm
Knot: 27mm bulb shape

I have just finished another Dymondwood handled brush. This one got a shiny CA treatment. The knot is TGN two band finest. After an initial washing the tips are starting to curl up into gel-tips.

Brush Dimensions (approximate):

Total height: 95mm
Handle: 46mm
Loft: 49mm
Knot: 25mm bulb shape

What are Gel tips??

Some time ago badger knots have started appearing featuring the "hooked" tips. When dry they feel kind of scratchy, but when wet they are much softer than normally tipped knots. Some people thought they felt almost gel-like, so the gel-tips monicker has been coined. At first people paid more money for that, but I think now it's a lot more common. Not sure if it's processing or another kind of badger, but many of the TGN knots now have it. It's usually only visible after a washing or a few uses. Kind of like boar knots splitting at the tips.

Thx heard or seen such a thing.

( text removed by staff) One was to be a Chubby 1 caliber and the other Chubby 3. I have made the smaller brush using African Ironwood and the larger one using Resin Burl.

Here is the smaller one:

Total height: 90mm
Loft height: 48mm
Handle height: 42mm
Knot: 27mm bulb shape

Here is the larger one

Total height: 101mm
Loft height: 52mm
Handle height: 49mm
Knot: 30mm+ bulb shape









And both together



I hope the new owners enjoy these. I really like them.

Damn,......those are pretty
My hat is off to you.
