I got a piece of walnut last week, and I took advantage of nice weather on Saturday to make four new handles. #151 was made as a match for my NEW handle. I branded them today. I dry fitted some knots in the handles for the photo: boar, badger, synthetic.
Thank you. I have some two-band and black Maggard synthetics on the way. I also have some finest badgers, too. I have not committed on the knots yet.
It is nice to be able to make brushes again. The only problem is, I also need to find homes for them.
Jim, I seriously doubt you will have trouble finding homes for your brushes. I think the hard part is picking one from the many suitors!!
My Maggard knots came in today, and I did some dry fitting. JR#153 has a little smaller hold. This two-band badger fits.
Jim Great brushes. I am so use to walnut being darker but I must say those are beautiful and you picked great stains for them. I really like 153
