Starting Jayaruh #462 Travel Brush

February 18, 2024

 At the request of Charlie in Kentucky, I am making a small travel brush. I picked out a piece of burl that has been sitting around for quite a while. This brush handle is like Jayaruh #360. It is 40mm high and will take a 20mm Fox Red synthetic knot. 

 

 

February 24, 2025

The knot arrived today. The first thing I did was to dry fit it to the handle. 

I put a new coat of polycrylic on the handle and in the hole to seal it. Next, I will set the knot with hot glue, get the final dimensions, and take pictures for the Jayaruh Brushes page.

Completed:

Handle:42mm Cherry Burl

Knot: 20x45mm Synthetic Fox Red
