Have you ever sold any brush to a member of this forum?

I am not sure, but it's possible.

I have completed a new brush for my Etsy shop. This one is made with Tambootie wood that has a dark and light wood in it. It is absolutely stunning. The light side has a knot coming in from the dark side. It is really a beautiful piece of wood. I finished it with CA for water-proofing and I polished it to a high gloss.

Approximate dimensions:

Total height: 102mm
Handle: 52mm
Loft: 50mm
Knot: 25mm bulb shape

I just learned that another name for Tambootie wood is sandalwood. No wonder it smelled familiar as I turned it. The finished brush will not smell, unfortunately, because the wood is sealed, but it is still beautiful to look at.

I have completed a new brush in Key Hole shape made of Bolivian Rosewood. The knot is TGN two band finest and the finish on the handle is multiple coats of CA polished to a shine. This is my first key hole shaped handle. I think it came out well.

Brush Dimensions (approximate):

Total height: 108mm
Handle: 60mm
Loft: 48mm
Knot: 25mm bulb shape

I also made a PR handled brush with a Mx type of shape. The resin blank is called Abalone and is pretty amazing in real life. Pictures rarely capture the beauty of resins.

Brush Dimensions (approximate):

Handle: 55mm

I have created two handles by commission and set one of them with a TGN HMW knot. Unfortunately I did not have a chance to take measurements of the brush and/or handles, but they are about 60mm tall with a 25mm knot opening. In the pictures the knot is dry fitted into both handles, but the one that got the knot in the end is the darker handle in Royal Jacaranda Dymondwood. The other handle is in Dakota Dymondwood

Stunning handles!!!

I have completed three brushes for my Etsy store.

First one is in Deep Purple PR and sports an M7-type shape. This ended up being a large 30mm brush. It is really lovely to look at and hold. Nice and hefty.

Brush Dimensions (approximate):

Total height: 115m
Handle: 62mm
Loft: 53mm
Knot: 30mm Bulb shape









Please excuse the pinkish tint to the pictures, but I have yet to figure out how to represent purple colors in digital photography. I have never seen this color come out correctly without tinting the rest of the picture. In any case, the handle color is more or less correctly represented on the pictures. Originals showed the handle as blue. It really is purple. If anyone knows how to get the color purple correct with a digital camera without affecting the rest of the picture let me know, please.

================================================================

Second brush is in Burnt Butterscotch Pearl PR and is inspired by Ever-Ready vintage brushes. I really like those hourglass Ever-Ready brushes and feel they provide a very comfortable handle for a shaving brush.

Brush Dimensions (approximate):

Total height: 116mm
Handle: 62mm
Loft: 54mm
Knot: 27mm Bulb shape














================================================================

The third brush is a small travel brush. I've been a fan of Simpson Wee Scot for years now and have built a small travel brush with two band finest that I really enjoy and always travel with it and a stick of Arko for a perfect shave on the road every time. I decided to test the waters for a small brush in my store. I used Dymondwood "Tortoise" pattern with yet another take on Ever-Ready vintage shape.











Brush Dimensions (approximate):

Total height: 90mm
Handle: 49mm
Loft: 41mm
Knot: 19mm bulb shape
