I have created a new brush with a Dymnodwood handle. The Pattern is called Royal Jacaranda and I chose to turn the blank in an unusual way for Dymondwood. Rather than having the layers oriented in a vertical axis I chose to turn them oriented in a horizontal axis. This has the effect of creating horizontal 1/16" wide stripes. I think this is an interesting and different way to turn Dymondwood. I like the way it turned out. This is a fairly large brush (28mm knot) and is in the Chubby style.

Brush Dimensions (approximate):

Total height: 102mm
Handle: 51mm
Loft: 51mm
Knot: 29mm bulb shape

Another brush made for a custom order. This customer did not want me to glue the knot in so he could use a less permanent adhesive to possibly change the knot in the future. He also provided the two band finest knot. This one is made with acrylester resin called "Black Peacock". It's amazingly beautiful and really defies being photographed properly. There is a lot of light play in this one and still photography just does not do it justice.

Brush Dimensions (approximate):

Total height: 105mm
Handle: 55mm
Loft: 50mm

Another custom order is complete. This one is in "Bronze" resin, but looks a lot more like actual copper color. Very pretty. The knot is TGN Silvertip Grade A. I rarely use anything other than TGN two band finest, but I must say, this knot is very good. It is more like the two band type hair in terms of sturdiness and is very soft. It's pricier than the two band finest, but sure is nice.

Approximate dimensions:

Total height: 103mm
Handle height: 55mm
Loft height: 48mm
Knot: 26mm

I have created a new brush for my Etsy store. This one is made with a very popular Black Peacock resin and TGN two band finest badger. I decided to make a design that is a little different than my usual renditions of classics like M7, Chubby, etc. This one is loosely based on Ever-Ready hour glass handles of old that I like a lot. I find this shape is very comfortable and this particular handle is no exception. In test lathering it I found it very comfortable. I hope you like it.


Brush Dimensions (approximate):

Total height: 109mm
Handle: 60mm
Loft: 49mm
Knot: 27mm Bulb shape

Total height: 96mm
Handle: 48mm
Loft: 48mm
Knot: 27mm Bulb shape
