Looking Good ,,,,,:rock:
Loving the look of that tambuti, especially with the linseed oil finish on it. Nice looking brush!
Very nice. I have always used Linseed oil for gun stocks. Started using it on brush handles now also.
Even have been using ca over it after a couple days of drying. Works nicely too!!

:idea:OK ya caught me! Had to come back and look at it again!!
That looks awesome! Would love to see a pic post bloom.
I started out using 2P-10 thin and Linseed oil. My process was Linseed oil, CA, Linseed oil, CA back and forth. You end up with more of a satin finish.
really no issues other than on an all ready oily wood doesn't work so great IME. Sometimes you'll get a flat spot, but I really think that I rushed the process when that happens. The wood may have been drier, and sucked up the oil.
The longer I do this I'm leaning toward using CA on light color woods, and oil on darker. The oil just looks better...
