BuBINGa M7

I PIF'd a handle last week after an utter failure at my first attempt at copying the M7 handle. With the help of the keen eye of a fellow B&ber, I feel like I got this one right. This was a fun brush to make. Unfortunately, it's not for me.

Wood: Bubinga with CA glue and wax finish
Knot: 24mm TGN Grade A Silvertip, 51mm loft.

Very nice. I like that shape a lot.

I can't wait to try this beauty out!! Joe, you were a pleasure to work with on this brush.

Thanks. Again, your keen eye made the end product. There is no doubt of that. Thanks for giving me an opportunity to get in the shop!

Joe is a fabulous handle maker, even if he says he is an amateur. I'm hiding mine until my 26mm TGN Finest knot comes in to complete it. Then I will show it off to the world!

That is darn nice! That's just wax on the Bubinga?

No, the handle is coated with 12 coats of CA glue, then buffed and overlaid with carnauba wax.

Very nice!

How did i miss this?? Dude thats a sweet looking handle!

Very nice Joe! Great job on the finish.

Thanks!

Everyone has been polite and not corrected me but I guess I should have just called it a bubinga 7, not an M7. The knot is a TGN Grade A Silvertip, not a manchurian badger. I guess I could called it a GAS7

That's a very nice handle and the finish is excellent. Great Job!

Here is my full review on the brush
