looks good carl, those brushes are real fun to make. i'm curious how you did the hole for the knot, i've always used a forstner bit, how'd you make it?

I do them the same way as you, only thing is the Knots are in MM, i go one size down in bit size and then open them up with a skew tool. Thanks for taking a peek

That looks very nice Carl. Shave brushes are another thing on my infinitely long "to do" list :biggrin:

Carl--nice brush. May I ask a question? You said open w/skew tool. How the heck do you get a skew in such a small diameter hole?

Nice job Carl, a fun break from pens and stoppers.

Hi, the bit used is 5/8"F,the opening has to be 19mm the tool used is 1/2" to open it up just a touch.

i bought one of the shaving brush inserts.....thought about using a decent spade bit and then using either the skew or a parting tool on it's side to get it to the proper diameter.....
when you use wood....do you seal the entire piece beffore you glue in the brush? i would think that wood would have ill effects overtime
i use mug and brush everyday......can't wait to change to this one

Hi, Go to the http://www.thegoldennib.com go to the side bar under tutorials. You will get a good understanding of how they are made. I use a jacobs chuck and he uses the beal to make them.
