Couple of 30 mm brushes
Working on a couple of big brushes, the one all walnut,
And beside its 24 mm inspiration,
And another in a three wood combination comprising walnut, yew, and spalted elm.
Never tried making brushes this big so I thought I would give it a go. Will make for a very large latherer.
Still need to finish sand and seal them up.
Thinking an oil finish on these as I like the hand rubbed luster.

Nicely done. If I ever have to shave an elephant I'll know where to look for a brush.
Man they are big.

Nice Mike. Love that last one, should change colour a bit when you oil them and really make them look sweet. IMO, 30mm is waaay too big big of a brush, and just doesn't work for me. The 30mm I have sits on the shelf, and collects dust. I know there's a ton of guys that love em tho.
Burls, Girls, and all things that Swirl....

Really, great brushes, but that is a huge diameter, I'm a big guy, but when you use a brush that size and it consumes the entire side of one side of your face, doesn't leave much room for swirling, scrubbing and lathering...sheesh, every time I use a brush that big I end up washing my forehead at the same time.

Great work though, and as always in this sport, if you like em big, rock on....

Very nicely done. I enjoy using my 33mm Thäter a couple times a week, and would certainly enjoy one of those. Great job.

Nice work! The last one with the contrasting wood is very appealing to me. Oil finish definitely no need for plastic over wood.

Looking good, I myself don't like the big ones even though I have 2 of them, big lather they do but I can't get any face lathering going without soap in my ears , eyes, and chest! But they look cool on the display
The biggest one is 32mm the other is 30mm next to my Chubby 2 that's 26“ I,m getting the impression that everyone thinks I have TIME to fix their bikes”

Bevo needs a shave, knots that big look better in a display, than in action
