    Default hand turned brush

    Hey All,
    finished another brush the other day. Silver tip badger knot from TGN, Buffalo Horn Handle and Reconstituted Turquoise Cap.
    i am working on a razor with the same horn for the scales and a wedge of the same turquoise to match up.
    Anyhoo, as i do not yet have a workshop or lathe, this brush is hand turned - meaning i drilled knot hole with cordless hand drill and spade bit. Shaped horn with rasp and files. Then placed emery cloth in palm of left hand and twisted {turned} brush around and around and around and around..... you get the idea.... up through various grits of wet dry and then micro mesh. Not perfect, but pretty happy with it.
    Adam.

    Now that's what I call a real handmade brush.
