Thread: my first one

During the days I was home I thought I'm going to make a brush.
piece of oak, a sharp knife, a hand file, sandpaper and a lot of patience later.
A 26mm hole in it ,The handle itself is 60 mm high.
A Silvertip bulb is ordered (thegoldennib.)
Hope the bulb arrives soon so I can take it into use.

And after 3 layers of yacht varnish this has come out. I'm a little proud of myself,because I'm not a craftsman, and normally i do not have much patience for this stuff

a sharp knife, a hand file, sandpaper ........
That is fantastic using these tools man!
It looks just great!
be sure to post pics with the bulb as well!

All done by hand, that looks pretty sweet to me. +1 to posting a picture with the bulb once complete.

That is a really nice handle, has a great shape to it. When you get the knot make sure you post some pics

I think he is coming out fine.
Today i gleud the silvertip bulb that i bought from the golden nib. Looks fine, a good size between handle and bulb i think.
Now let the gleu dry and then try.
(i used 2component gleu)

Looks great! How did you do the metal ring? Gives it a nice finishing touch.

Metal ring comes from a brush that I had once demolished.
I once tried a brush to get rid of his hair. end of the story all ended in the trash.(I'm not so patient in this fine work)

Keep what you ever could need, we say in Holland.
We're saving..... very dutch

well done, I like it

Looks great. That's a heck of a lot of patience to do it all by hand!

I now,almost whole december
Everyday a little bit,the first few days are terrible. But when it became al little shape i like doing it, a sort of therapy.
