Jayaruh #360 Begins

I ordered four different woods for brushes. I usually get 1.5x1.5 x12. I made a mistake ordering this stick of osage orange. I ordered 1x1x12. Well, it would normally be too small to make a brush handle with, but I got creative. I decided to make a small travel brush with it. I have a 20mm Tuxedo type synthetic knot coming for this brush. It should be here by Monday.

I am making it the size of this made in England boar brush from my 1930s travel kit.

1x1x12 osage orange


This is a shape I have used on several brushes. It is done with hand tools and a Dremel without a lathe.

Now that's the way to make it....................

 

Great work. You made a great adjustment to your plans.

very cool, nice work sir..

 

Can I get one to put a badger knot in??

 

I don't see why knot...

 

Awesome. Put me on the list for a handle when you make more please!

 

Beautiful, Jim!

 

I had to look up what "Osage Orange" was. We just called it a Horse Apple tree, as kids. We used to the fruit(several pounds each) and throw at each other, and also feed them to the horses. Fun times, as a kid.

 

I have an early Jayaruh that Jim says was made before he got a lathe. This stubby chubby was actually the ferrule of a larger handle at one time. He's a master with or without a lathe.

 

very cool..

 

Jim,
That's one heck of a beautify piece of work.I can't wait to see the finished product.

 

360?!???!???

This brush thing might just become a hobby. (;

 

I have made two brush handles and thought I was doing something. Jim is a master craftsman for sure and makes some beautiful handles.

 

Thought I’d share JR 346 first day on the job and it preformed like a pro! Thanks for the great brush!
(Not too sure where to post this)

 

I ended up making two and setting them with the Maggard Black & White synthetic. They are both open for adoption, too.

I have been shaving with #360 this week, and let me tell 'ya, it does a good job for its size.

Here is the video of yesterday's shave.

 

So how much are your brushes?

 

Well, you just joined Doc Ezlovan as people here whose names I thought were pronounced differently than they actually are. You closed with "Jay-arra"..always thought it was "Jay-a-Roo". (With Doc Ezlovan, I had no idea it is E..Z...Luvin..always thought it was EZ-lo-VAN). By the way, nice video .
