26 mm Silvertip at 50 mm loft. Made a slightly larger handle anticipating a little bigger bloom. I may keep this one for myself! Tambuti wood again with linseed oil.

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!!

Funny you say that. I was watching a video on YouTube where he applies ca just after the oil to dry together... Certainly interesting.Quote:

Yeah I think I may keep this one so I'll post another pic after I use it. Thanks!Quote:

The longer I do this I'm leaning toward using CA on light color woods, and oil on darker. The oil just looks better...
That wood looks so rich and warm. Great job!
Here she is post bloom. I gotta say, I think between 2 band and Silvertip I like the 2 band. I guess I appreciate the backbone.
