Father's Day brush a thon

Hello all, right off the bat here I know these aren't shaving brushes but I hope the MODS and ADMINS will allow this post.
Fathers day for me was the chance to do something for my family. I thought it would be a good time to make some make up brushes for the ladies in my life. My wife who normally sees me come home from work drop the lunch box and change cloths and go to the shop. Work till evening and come in and shower shave and eat. Then relax in my chair so she can wake me up to go to bed later.
She never complains!! I have made 4 brushes so one is for my wife. One for my daughter. And 2 for Muskiemans lady, and a relative of hers.
Enjoy!!

Very nice! Is that CA finish?
I'm unfamiliar with makeup knots - what are those?

Classy quartet, sir.
What are the knots made of?

They look great,fantastic Idea

Thanks men, The all black knots are sable and the black and white is synthetic. These were the last of my sable knots. The colorwood is self explanatory. The 2 dark woods are Mexican red heart. Yes CA on all..
Thanks for looking!!
Thanks Bill for hooking me up with those sable knots from TGN. These were the last ones.

Wow you make some beautiful brushes. These will make the ladies very happy.:tu

Very impressive. While most guys are taking this as their day, you are making brushes for the ladies. AWESOME! That should buy ya 364 days to work on shaving stuff. :gl: Great looking brushes as usual.

Very nice work! im sure all will enjoy them!

This is funny I just made one for a guy I work with for his girlfriend at his request of course..
Not to steal away from your Cosmetic brushes Walleyeman that turned out pretty sweet by the way, but do you mind if I post the one I made?
I would have shared but like you I thought maybe it wouldn't be appropriate...

Please do, Chris. All good here!!

I used a drill bit with a brad point and made a bunch of holes in the base and in the top of the handle. Then I used Loc-tite gel adhesive, my thoughts were it should drawl up into both pieces when pressed together.
If it doesn't hold my next idea was to use a screw and sink it in the handle and center it up to the base of the brush in addition to the Loc-tite
