Some Saturday afternoon fun
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.
I love living in the past...

Loving the look of that tambuti, especially with the linseed oil finish on it. Nice looking brush!
Burls, Girls, and all things that Swirl....

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.

Well I haven't been that brave yet. I plan on trying that later with some stock that isn't ready for a knot. Not sure how that will act!! Originally Posted by RoyalCake

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. Originally Posted by walleyeman

The longer I do this I'm leaning toward using CA on light color woods, and oil on darker. The oil just looks better...CHRIS
