I can't remember the last time that I saw anything done in blue, my favorite color.
Throw in the burl and a 2 band silvertip knot and you have one drop dead gorgeous brush!!
Awesome!!
Congratulations!

Nice! :tu How did you combine the materials? Not really a straight line there?
Really great job Trimmy :tu:tu
Love that deep blue color. Great looking brush Chris!
It's called Shokwood or resin wood.Quote:

ShokWood & ShokRes (TM) - Handle Material
The material is made by Beyond wood products, I'm not sure of their process. They make some killer blanks though! I believe they make these for scales, vap boxes...what ever that is and bottle stoppersQuote:

Man that blue is killer! I'm seriously digging these brushes with resin an wood.
Love that one. Well done Chris.
Wow a real great handle. Love that deep bleu.
to put it plainly....that is a work of art.
Another very nice turn sir. Great colour depth and shape..
Would do just fine in the beach travel kit I think..
