First brush making attempt could have been better
I have a Delta mini lathe in my shop that is little used (not much into turning).
Seeing you guys making brushes sucked me in.
I bored a 1" hole for a 23mm knot (yes, 23mm & 24mm Forstners are on order).
The stop on the drill press slipped and the hole is way too deep. Bondo will help out here with a build up.
The 1/4" drilled hole for the headless bolt is located off center by an 1/8". This will result in a brush being off-set. I have to think of a reason why I wanted it like that for whomevr I show it to.
The tuning of the olivewood went ok for not being a talented turner.
I applied a coat of fast drying varnish which is still sticky overnight. It's now unstairs where it's warmer.
I think I may wind up with a usable brush when done in spite of a bumpy trail.
It slipped my mind to make the first one out of scrap wood.
Photos to come later if it's not too embarasing.
