Jayaruh #266

I was given this partial bottle of MEM English Leather from the 80s. It has a wooden cap. I have wanted to get one of these for a couple of years just to make a brush out of it. Well, I made a brush from a really big one for John D., a gentleman on TSD, JR#264. He sent me this so I could achieve my desire.

The hole was huge (32mm), so I turned a plug and plugged it.

I decided to drill the hole in the other end (25mm).

 Here I dry fitted a Maggard synthetic knot.

Then I branded it.

Next, I stained/sealed it with some red oak stain/sealer.

I put on a coat of polycrylic. It won't be long now.
