    Default Father's Day Chubby 1

    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.

    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.

    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.
