Hello just thought I would post some pictures of my 2 new handmade brushes. Ordered nots from golden nib. They turned out better than I thought they would, and they feel great. Also they are lather making machine. P.S. Before everybody asks the hand guns are a keltec P3at and a keltec P9 my secondary and third choice to my primary carry gun. Just through them in to make the picture more interesting.

I think you'll find it's Friday night and more than one of us is a little tipsy.
Back to the topic at hand, very nice brushes, nice guns and I can live with the countertop too but that wall colour!

Well I think the left one looks perfectly nice too
Who's on first.
Curious, what kind of wood did you use?
From the picture it looks like it might be stained Maple or Birch.

I am not sure what kind of wood it actualy is. I just grabed 2 small blocks of wood out of a bin and ended up with this. I stained them let them dry tacky then rubbed them with a soft cloth. around 4 coats. then coated them in poly around 5 coats between light sandings. then filled the void between the not and handle with plumbers putty to add weight. then set the not with gorilla glue. thanks
Brushes that nice deserve a Smith and Wesson K frame or Luger.........
My brush looks small when I pair it up with my XD40.

Mighty nice!
That brush on the left looks mighty fine... Ordered my first customer brush last week. Can't wait.
Reminds me of that scene in "High Plains Drifter" where Clint Eastwood goes in for a shave, and blows away some bad guys. They would match well with some cowboy guns and a Bowie knife. What are the dimensions on the brush?

They look very nice! Do you have a lot of wood working/turning experience? Were they difficult to make?
Very nice. I just stole a copy of your picture to send to my brother-in-law who's handy w/ wood. That will have to do because your brushes appear to be well protected.
