Father's Day Chubby 1

**RoyalCake** · 04-30-2014, 05:41 AM

For my first try at a wood brush I decided to give a shot at a Chubby since it's one of my favorite styles.
Going to give this one to my dad for Father's Day. I've got another knot waiting so I'll have a go at another one. It's not perfect and I almost destroyed it when trying to part it off the stock. But man is it fun. And satisfying!
24 mm 2 band, loft set at 41 mm for some good face lathering. Made from African black wood - could have done better on polishing it out. Criticism welcome!

No criticism here, I love it !!....I've wanted a Simpson's Chubby No.1 but have baulked at the price,
so I've been looking for something similiar. Glad to see someone's having a go.

Keep making 'em to that standard of quality and you'll be getting a LOT of private enquiries

AWESOME!
Looks good to me...

Try putting some RenWax on that baby... It is a GREAT product to shine stuff up!

That looks fantastic my friend,One way to do a final polish before the knot is set is to use a deepwell socket chucked in the lathe that is a close fit to the bore,you can use electrical tape to get a tight fit,than spin away.looks great.

Cheers.

That's a great idea - I was trying to think of a way to hold that guy in the knot bore. Thanks!
I went up to 1000 grit and it feels super smooth, just doesn't have the luster.

I tried some renwax on it which helped (picture shows it a little more dull than real life). Maybe I didn't get the surface prepped good enough.

It would be unkind if I gave it to him still smelling like badger right? Haha
