 I am making this 400 type brush for Charlie in KY for his friend who is ready to use a brush.

Here it is almost done. We are probably going to go with one of these two knots. The flat top is a tribute to the original RS 400 brushes.



The brush is completed.

Jayaruh #458 Synthetic

 Back in 2020, I made four Civil War type shaving brushes. I had turned an extra blank that has been sitting around since then. Today, I got it out and finished it off. I had to make the hole for the new knot.  Then I stained it with some dark walnut stain and wound the top with some jute. I finished it with polycrylic and lastly set the knot. I got the knot as a gift from Boti Brush with an order I had with them.
