Finishing Jayaruh #155


The Omega 49 knot came in today, and my son, David, helped me prep the knot for the handle. The picture above is of the knot dry fitted and ready to be set. I will be setting it with silicone before sending it out to its new home. Mrchick of TSD and I made a trade. He is sending me a Wade & Butcher straight.

The brush is complete. I set the knot with silicone, and it will go out in Monday's mail to its new home in California.

Jayaruh #155 Begins

I had a piece of walnut and a piece of purple heart woods that I glued together a couple of days ago. Today, I was going to turn it and then make it into a 400 type handle. I was doing great. I had completed the turning and made the hole for the knot, all along I thought I was documenting each step along the way. Then, to my horror I saw on the screen of the camera, "No memory card." All those pictures gone; never recorded. Well, I went in the house and retrieved the memory card. Here are pictures I took since then.










I put a coat of polyacrylic on it and then took some pictures with three different knots.

I received an Omega 49 brush today. My son, David, was here, so, he helped me complete this brush. I harvested the knot from the handle, and David used the Dremel to size the knot's base to fit the handle. Here is a picture of it dry fitted. I will be setting it later today with silicone. Then it will be ready to go to its new home.
