Jayaruh #59 Completed

I had some pieces left over from cutting down two blanks: a walnut and a Wenge blank. On Wednesday, April 6, I cut them to length and then glued them together to make a new blank. From this blank, I formed this new brush today, Friday, April 8.

I finished shaping the handle and sealed it with a special mixture of 1:6 polyurethane and paint thinner. Then the knot arrived today. I fitted it to the handle and took the following pictures.

The next pictures are after two coatings of polyurethane.

I branded the brush and put another coat of polyurethane on it.

After the final coat of polyurethane dried, I set the Maggard 24mm synthetic knot with silicone.
