In connection with shaving brushes I decided to make some DEs.

Wowwww...These are really impressive (like your brushes)

. Also curious about the finish? How do you waterproof it?

**KING2011** · 05-05-2011, 03:20 PM

So, as for the finish:

1. After turning I polish the wood with 120-240-500-1000 sandpaper
2. After that I did polishing job with aluminia-oxide polishing compound
3. Then CCL Wood Sealer is applied
4. After CCL I apply 6-8 thin coats of hard Carnauba Wax
5. In the end I apply 2-3 thin coats of Renissance Wax (for fingerproof)

This way seems excellent to me and more of that you can read here: https://www.brisa.fi/portal/index.ph...d=17&Itemid=15
