Jayaruh #450 Continued

As part of the Louisville Slugger run of brushes, I started this brush a few years back (2018). It was the last of the nubs. I had formed the basic shape and the hole, and it sat on top of my dresser ever since. Today, I made the hole deeper and wider to accommodate a 24mm silvertip badger knot. I stained and sealed the wood with Minwax stain/sealer. Then, I numbered it and put a coat of polycrylic on it.

Stained and sealed

Numbered

Polycrylic, first coat

It is finished:

Handle: 79mm

Knot:  26x51
