Hi Guys,
i am awaiting a delivery of badger hair knots and will then have my first attempt at making some brushes to match the razors i am working on.
When it comes to drilling the hole for the knot in both timber and buffalo horn handles, what is the best method? i was thinking a spade bit. i have a small drill press and 1/4 inch is the largest shank i can fit to the chuck, so figured the spade bit with it's narrow shank was my best option. Just not sure if it will work smoothly or chip a lot - particularly the horn.
Any feedback appreciated.
Regards of the season.
