Thread: "Tying" a brush knot?

GREAT VIDEO of the process!

Da Vinci is a great brush company and makes very high quality oil painting brushes. I've seen other videos of tying brush knots and they are all similar. I know the brush tiers aprentice for a considerable amount of time before they are aloud to work out on the floor, but I'm also pretty certain most of that training has to do with the tying of watercolor brushes, which require a special point that is all done by hand. By the looks of the video, the badger brushes are shaped by the use of a template rather than by hand. If you can get your hands on some raw badger hair, I imagine it would be possible to tie a knot, (providing you had the template).

So just watch it. if I see a bizarre news story of a bunch of naked badgers running around I know who to report.

When you catch one,Just take the neck hairs,thats the best silvertip,have a friend with you to take some vids of the action.Bring some dog bisquits,badgers love themyou have to first make friends.
