Thread: Finished Some Walnut

Just put some finish on these last night and set them just a minute ago. I couldn't wait to click the cell phone.
The first is a high graded three band silver tip around 24mm in a nice old walnut I removed from my friends front yard. He wanted a longer handle and I hope I accommodated well.



The second is something that I rarely do; I made one of the knots that I set aside for myself. This is around 22mm boar, very high quality. I set this in the same walnut as the other, then I applied a band of rod wrapping thread on either side of the bead. This was just for fun.



If you can't tell I prefer round bottoms on my brushes this keeps them from being dried upside down. Both unfinished.



Finally, both done.

Very nice. Seeing these reminds me I want a brush with a longer handle

It seems like almost every order I get recently is for longer handles. I have a couple for my scuttles, but even some face latherers have been wanting them. They do allow me more room to play.

Very nice looking.

Nice looking brushes. Good work

Great work! Both of them look terrific.

Gerrit, you are indeed a skilled craftsman. Those brushes are badbutt.
