Custom Barber Brush

I finished this one up last night for Sharptonn. The materials and style were all chosen by him, and I think he nailed it. He sent me an Omega 98 he had, I removed the huge boar knot and made a new handle for it. This is it. The end of the handle is completely round, something I've yet to do. Tom hangs his brushes so there was no need for a flat base for it to stand on. The rounded end gives it that extra cool design feature.

Final pics aren't as good as I'd like. No sun today :(

That's a really cool looking brush, HW!

Very NICE! :tu

Mike, I have so much acrylic it's a bit ridiculous really. I'll bring some to the meet, don't worry!

As always gorgeous work

Another great combination of materials.

WooooHoooooo, That is nice, Andrew! :y

After seeing your work in various 'new' materials here, I really got the desire for a few examples of your work. Best part about working with you on design and materials is the fun of discussion and mutual descisions. Also, your eagerness to obtain new materials to make it happen as-desired and photos along the way make for a fun experience.
I know you waited patiently for my responses a few times with the thing chucked-up and I appreciate it.
Seems to be exactly what I dreamed of and (thankfully) some of my hair-brained ideas were put to rest after seeing it progress in pictures. I am certain to enjoy the handle. The knot is great as I had used it before, but the cheesey handle it came with put me off somewhat.
Thanks, Brother! :bow

Ya, I really enjoyed doing this one. Your input on this one was great and the discussions on building it were fun. I'll trade with you any day Tom! Got any nice Swedes?? Haha, kidding. But not really, you have any? No no no, my wife will kill me.

Andrew, Andrew, Andrew, what am I going to do if you keep up this spectacular display of skill? If I could commit my grandkids future earnings so I could buy another brush from you I would. Five of them are girls and the boy looks like he won't have a beard till he is 50, so they wouldn't miss the money.

Yep, getting ready to decrease their future wealth.:rofl2:

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and they are quite small for appreciation of craftsmanship.

Another huge Wow factor! The bottom of the handle looks like a giant drop of water. Very cool indeed.!

Pete <:-}

Nice work indeed, the clear acrylic looks superb.

Gorgeous. The contrast of colors is great. I own that same big pro brush. That not is a soap holding machine. Excellent work Andrew.

Awesome!!!!!

Absolutey superb Andrew looks amazing, I'll will have to ask Tom to send it my way for a few SOTD photo's now that's a brush I would be more than welcome in my shave den.

Tom's pics are better than mine in the SOTD thread, that's for sure. But your pics..... well, there aren't many people that have better pics than you Jamie. Your pics would bring this brush to life! Thanks for the kind words friend!

Gaaaaaah! :eek: This does not mean I must send my brush over the sea to JAMIE? (although his SOTD pics are beautiful!)
Gee, guys, I have not even received it yet! :roflmao

Love the finish on that
Great looking brush

Just now saw this work. Interesting choice of material. An excellent result.
