Jayaruh #268

No interim photos for this one. The first three are after I did the initial shaping. I had a ferrule left over that I put on it.

I put flutes on the handle and sealed/stained it with colonial maple and then finished it with polycrylic. I topped it off with the brown synthetic knot. This is going to be a sweet brush.
