A New Brush From The 'Bay...

[huck1680]

Hi Guys
This just showed up and it's kinda cool. An old brush that's made from bone or antler. I could tell from the odour when I was enlarging the hole for a new knot. The original knot was probably boar so I trimmed the base on a Silvertip from Tony and there you are. These old travel brushes were pretty small so I got a bit bigger knot after I was done.

The first pic is from the seller, the next shows it together and the last 2 show it put together and closed ready to travel.

Cheers

That is cool! How brittle do you think that bone is?

Not brittle at all, as I used my Dremel to open the knothole for the new badger.

I think I bid on that.
Congrats. I'd have destroyed it trying to put a new knot in it.
