Next up is a brush in "Black Olive" resin. This material has quickly become very popular and for a good reason. It is gorgeous. Very difficult to describe or photograph, but in person it is just a beautiful resin. If you like black brush handles, you will probably love this one. TGN two band finest knot in fan shape is excellent and passed my tough selection process.

Brush Dimensions (approximate):

Total height: 99mm
Handle: 51mm
Loft: 48mm
Knot: 27mm Fan shape

I have created a brush for a custom order. This one is made with Burmese Blackwood and TGN two band finest knot. The wood is finished in multiple coats of CA polished to a high shine. The TGN knots I have received in my latest shipment are reminiscent of the older TGN knots that made TGN so popular. These are beautifully shaped and very dense two band knots with great looking colors.

Approximate dimensions of the brush:

Total height: 124mm
Handle height: 75mm
Loft height: 49mm
Knot: 28mm bulb shape

As can be seen from the last picture, the brush is large and towers over a SOC two band.

I have created a brush that will have 6 more like it for a group buy in Lithuanian knife forum. The request was to make a brush with the colors of Lithuanian flag: Yellow (Sun), Green (Nature), Red (Blood). There are going to be three boar brushes, one synthetic and three two band finest badger. The butt of the handle contains a rare Earth magnet for hanging the brush on metal surfaces. The orientation of the flag is right side up when the brush is suspended by the magnet. The first of the seven brushes is done and it sports an Omega boar knot. Handle material is color resin stabilized spalted maple that I cut from different color blanks to create the tricolor pattern desired.

Approximate dimensions are:

Total height: 100mm
Handle height: 51mm
Loft height: 49mm
Knot: 25mm

I have created a new shaving brush for my ETSY shop. This one is special as I am experimenting with combining different resins in one handle. I think this one came out very beautifully. It's a taller handle in Barber's Brush style. The knot is the latest version of TGN two band finest, which I find very good. Dense, very well shaped and beautiful sturdy hair with soft tips.

Brush Dimensions (approximate):

Total height: 125mm
Handle: 76mm
Loft: 49mm
Knot: 27mm Bulb shape

As I mentioned earlier, I was commissioned to make a series of seven brushes in the colors of the Lithuanian flag: Yellow, Green, Red. The series has three two band badger brushes, one synthetic and three boars. I used TGN for badgers, synthetic and one of the boars. Used Omega brushes I got for the purpose of harvesting the knots for the 24mm knots. TGN sells an excellent 27mm Omega knot, which is what I used for the larger boar. I remove the black rings from the Omega boars so I can set the loft as I like. The handles in this series also contain a rare earth magnet in the bottom so as to be able to hang the brush from a metal surface. The prototype had a smaller magnet that worked, but I felt a more powerful magnet would be nicer, so I ordered some 3/8" magnets for the rest of the series. Boy, those things are strong! Very good snappy feel to the magnetic action even on the heavy, wet brush.

Approximate dimensions:

Smaller Boars:

Total height: 100mm
Handle height: 51mm
Loft height: 49mm
Knot: 25mm

Larger boar:

Total height: 123mm
Handle height: 65mm
Loft height: 58mm
Knot: 27mm

Synthetic:

Total height: 108mm
Handle height: 58mm
Loft height: 50mm
Knot: 29mm

Badgers:

Total height: 105mm
Handle height: 57mm
Loft height: 48mm
Knot: 27mm
