hey,

this is the first handle where i used ca glue. i think the first layers where a bit uneven. but i think for the first time this looks good.
wood is palmira black and it has a 26mm finest xtra hair.

Looking good! With enough careful sanding you can smooth out the uneven bits. 220 wet grit is good for quick cutting but you need to be extra careful you don't get the low spots. From there you can go to 400 wet, 800 wet, 1000 or 1200 wet, then finish off with polishing compound with soft cotton cloth to make it smooth as glass. Any automotive store should have the wet/dry sand paper in the paint touch up section. If you go through to the wood just reapply some CA. Careful to avoid runs as those are much harder to fix!

Sorry if you took that wrong, I was just going off your statement that the first coats were uneven. It does look great. Very cool looking wood and the knot really compliments the dark tones.

its a fantastic brush and i think beside my thäter 4215/1 my favourite one. It has the perfect ammount of backbone and is as dense as i like it. Dont need it denser than this. :D

That is very beautiful. That wood has some crazy grain.

I've used the CA finish on some knife handles and it really holds up well.

Wow! Interesting grain on that wood! It displays very nicely at the end of the handle. Great work.
