Thread: A couple I just spun.

Here's a couple brushes I just spun out quick. The skateboard veneer handle was a cut off I had from the last project. Made for a cute little handle. The round handle is Ontario Black Locust Burl. Some interesting stats on Black Locust wood is it is highly rot resistant and very outdoor resistant. It's actually a superior wood to Hickory.

Thanks for checking them out fellas.

Nice handles!

Black Locust wood was used by Native Americans for bows, too.

Nice looking knots too.

Dang fine looking brushes my friend
The Black Locust Burl is just beautiful

Great job as always

Nicely done my good man!

Beautiful work. Love the grain of burl woods.

Nicely done!

Love the round one...reminiscent of your vintage Plisson that caused much BAD on my part...what knots did you use?

Superb work as always....

Thanks Andrew. Never would I have ever looked at a plain, Jane round handle for a brush. But my "Clown Nose" Plisson tells me otherwise. I really like this handle shape for a brush. I like to use it when I'm trying to showcase the figure specifically in the handle. The simplicity of the shape doesn't take away from what really needs to be seen.

Knots are Virginia Sheng 2 bands.

A chubby one and a colorful one.
Very cool looking brushes.
A+ as usual.
