    Default Alumilite & Burl brush

    My first shot at turning a alumilite & Burl brush. So I have a question for you guys.
    What should I do for a finish. sand to 12000k and polish or use some sort of finish like polyurethane?

    I reckon you should make it nice n glossy, put a 26mm badger knot in and then sell it to me

    I'd say let the bidding begin but that is against the rules..And also this one is mine so it got a 24mm synthetic knot. I think the color is a match.

    What did you end up using as a finish?

    Looks great. You really managed to bring out the grain in the wood.

    I think you are right about the colour match to the knot.

    Well done.
