I received the Omega 48 brush today. I harvested the knot and set it in JR 410.

Getting ready to harvest the knot.

Got the knot out of the handle.

Sawed down opposite sides of the ferrule.

Removed the ferrule.

Wrapped the bristles to protect them.

Dressed the end of the knot for setting.

Opened the hole in the handle to receive the knot.
Dry fitting.

Getting ready to set the knot.

Jayaruh Plywood Handles

This was an experiment. I glued two layers of 3/4 inch plywood together to make a blank for brush handles. I made three handles from this blank.

Here are Jayaruh #406, 407, and 408.

I took them off the lathe, made the holes, and did finishing work on them. Here they are with knots dry fitted. I have additional knots on order, so the knots may change.
