Sometime back there was member posting about making his own custom color acrylic handles. I tried searching, and could not find it. Can anyone help?
Thanks.

I believe he was casting an acyclic blank and then turning it on the lathe, not casting a finished handle.
I can't remember his name either.

I believe mycarver did my butterscotch handle. Maybe try searching for that thread?

I know that mycarver was mixing his own acrylic, but into blanks, and then lathe-turning the handles. I have an order in with him for such a handle, as it were. His work looks amazing!

I also believe Rudy Vey does this for his antique blue (if not others).

His work is very good and he also keeps you thoroughly updated on the progress. He made me a chubby 1 butterscotch handle for my TGN UK Silvertip knot back when you could get them and it is one of my favorite brushes.

I use a lot of cast resin handle blanks, but I do not cast it myself. A friend of mine does it for me. We have done quite a number of colors, and the antique blue is just one of it.
