Remodeled Resin

[Graydog]

Have you ever looked at something and want to change it.
I was able to do so this time with some success. well IMHO
I flipped this one and re-drilled for a bigger knot 25.5mm.
Then I used a piece from another resin handle that blew up and filled the hole
I find it quite attractive .
What you guys think ?

A brilliant idea I'll file away for later. Looking at some blown up wooden handles I saw here the other day I was wondering about splicing in contrasting wood, this is yet another idea for me to file away.

Great idea Steve.

Or you could cast it in Alumilite (worthless wood, hybrid, etc).

Nice work, that looks pretty sweet .

Looks great. I am partial to wood, but the resin handles have some pretty nice designs.

Cool-io!

That's actually really neat. If you hadn't said it was remanufactured, i'd never have guessed. I like it!

The idea of a hybrid with an acrylic bowl in place of the blown out wood also occurred. I might have been tempted to put a thin ebony or horn end on this one. I really like how he did it and that it makes me THINK.

I haven't done any brushes or even bottle stoppers yet, these guys set the bar really high!

Thanks Dave , I was able to take a little end off that Red and Clear.
I have to buff it still and make that red shine up nice . it is a shame about that red and clear
that Red is so nice .

Thanks Jay, I had thought about using some Ebony to fill it but I thought better to stay with the resin.

It looks great. I think the design looks much better this orientation!

I like! How long did you toy with the idea of putting a knot in both ends?

 

[Kurtis]

Great idea and execution.

I think the resin was the smart choice. Ebony tends to crack which would've caused yet another problem.

I have to agree, I like it better this way too. I didn't think at first flipping it was necessary but after comparing both I think this was the way to go.

That turned out to be a very nice brush. I think you must have the Midas touch.

Say what??? My brush handle is ebony, now I'm afraid!

It usually cracks while you're working with it, not after it's been setting for awhile. Sorry for the scare.
