Thread: Rubberset 400 replica project

Think this combo’s going to be my favorite of the bunch.

Got some badger, and some synthetic to try from them.

If the Badger knots are tightly packed would you share the vendors name? I've had some floppy ones & some good, stiff ones from China.

Wouldn't hurt my feelings if you put a tuxedo synthetic knot in and sent it my way.

P.S. Your in box is full

DSCosmetic is the seller I have tried for this order. Like I said, nice loft and density, will advise once they are in the handles..
Cheers

Finally, some images of how they will look completed in various combinations.





the advantage of being able to mix and match bases to ferrules is pretty cool.

3 of these were commissioned and the others were prototypes.
Cheers, and thanks for following along with the builds.
Appreciated the feedback as the works unfolded. Helped me out immensely.


After a few promised bow strop builds my next brush style to be replicated and saved digitally shall be;

Those are some great looking brushes Mike!

Although this is a cool looking brush I think it will be anticlimactic with its relatively simple design.

I dunno, Tim...a sort of beehive on a bowl. I want one!

Sorta 'Buck Rodgers'?

Looks like it is about to blast-off!

I really like burl, but I still can't tell which one I like best. Amazing work.

Thanks Joshua, I’m waiting on a forum member to determine which three he’s settled on so I can decide which one I’m keeping for myself..

The beehive may be simple enough to turn by hand with good repeatable results, true Tim.
But it’s a very neat/popular shape, so I’ve added it to the to do list.
Lookin fir dimensions online currently.
Other ideas include acrylic trials, as I’ve yet to try acrylic in this rig. As well as more spiral type designs, like a barber pole with a brush on the top. Maybe full on painted, stained or acrylic. Plus I’d like to try to make a handle that looks like a chess piece, maybe the bishop?

Took a sick day as a nasty bug has grabbed my head today. Just poking around and Trying to stay warm.
Cheers gents.
