Thread: Highland Tip

Highland Tip


I have finished a few new brushes this week.
This one is a handfull.





It is Highland cow horn. The knot is 28mm Finest, set at 60mm. There is plenty of backbone in this big boy! I think it will be a hard soap eater, for sure.

The handle is 150mm, and the knot set at 60mm, so an overall length of 210mm.





There is a lovely colour towards the tip.

The color of the horn & badger really match,,,,,,,

looks great! how deep did you have to drill the hole? is it tapered?

The hole is straight sided.

I guestimated where to cut the horn to give enough diameter of solid material to drill the hole deep enough, but I did not measure the depth, I'm afraid.

I could have gone a little deeper for a lower loft, but a 60mm loft felt about right.

Very nice!!
