Ya, that's what happens when you stay up late working on things. You screw up the title of your thread.

To answer your question, it's in April :)

Very excited this year. With a 3 and a 1 year old its going to be a lot of fun Christmas morning. I'm sure your expecting the same with your little guy. Happy holidays to you too!

Thanks Kyle. Looking forward to doing your brush. I hope Delvies gets that Acrylic shipped out soon. Seems to be taking forever.

When I first saw how you did it, I thought..... So thats how he prevents them from ripping apart from each other. It only makes sense once you see how to do it.

Thanks for sharing your secrets!

I have learned from you Bill, it is doweled. The way I turn my brushes with a small mandrel tapped into the knot pocket, I use a 1/2" dowel so that I can still do that. This way it doesn't compromise...

Thanks for the comments guys! Of course, I only see the flaws in it. As you can see, I should have aligned the grain on the 2 cocobolo pieces. That alone ticks me off that I didn't do it. There's a...

What!! For the short time I knew him and the Emails we sent back and forth, he seemed like a great guy. Very sorry to hear this Jamie. How old was he?

Haaa! Your on my list of guys I want to be my Dad! I need to inherit some Ducks, I have none!!

It's been some time since I've turned cocobolo and I forgot how light it is on the inside. With time, the natural oil will oxidize, it will darken and almost turn black. I like it better darker. :)

First coat of oil

Ed, I have two Troll dolls here that are my daughter's. A few times I've thought, would they notice if one was missing????? No, but my wife would! Lol.

Got it all glued up last night at 10:30. Should get it turned and oiled tonight. Took a while just to do this but it went very well, which is surprising.

Correction, most complicated other than Richards brush. :)

What the..... that was suppose to be an edit....

This may be my most complicated brush I've done yet. This one is going to be for my Dad, his Christmas gift. Hopefully things go well, in the past Tagua nut likes to fly apart on me. Here's the...
