Hi!
I'm studying architecture, and as a part of the education all of us went to concrete factories in Norway. While everyone else made furniture weighing over 100 kgs, my interest in shaving got the best of me!
To make this I first turned the handle in wood (which I used on another brush). Then I casted a silicone mold over that, which later I used to cast the concrete.

Thats great,Did you put any rebar in it:)
pretty cool
that could be endless !! i used to help a friend pour concrete and we used to do alot of stamped concrete and acid staining for color and counter tops that look like granite !! you could make some really cool looking handles !!
Thanks!

How heavy is the brush?
I like it, are you planing on making any more?
Looks great, what is the weight of it?
Nice nice. Next a concrete mug and so on. Concrete shaving line TM
Looking forward to up and close microscopy pictures of the result of the concrete hone.
That looks awesome! Well done! I'd just be very nervous about dropping it, and losing a toe! Or worse...:tu
the extra weight could have some interesting effects on both lathering and applying. about like a stone handle, I suppose. how's it in use?
Very cool project!
Did you mix anything in the cement to make it non porous? some sort of epoxy or waterproofing agent?
I think it is a very interesting thing you did. The thing I would is -if you did not waterproof it- if the brush handle and thus the base of the knot would retain water and perhaps be suceptible to hair loss or fungul growth.
Very creative! Looks great!
Soak it in Thompsons waterseal,would work wellQuote:

Very interesting brush handle, I bet the weight of the brush feels good in the hand. The look and surface of the concrete look great.

Around these parts the stuff would be known to the brick layers, who have heavy accents, as "cemenza" or "congucretes." Just FYI to the Architect. :rolleyes:
Could you put a piece of cork in it to lighten the load?
That Looks Good. Did You use bristles From Another Brush?
