Long Handle reverse persian Jar brush

[MasonMark]

I love the curves of a persian jar brush and I also love long handled brushes. I started making a persian jar handle when I realized if I turned it over it was a good looking handle. Just needed a top which gives it an old vintage brush look. To bad I cannot find butterscotch colored acrylic which would match some of the old bakelite handles.

The two pieces are held together with a center machine screw which allows me to easily exchange tops. I plan to make some tops of different materials with different knots.

Handle of alternative ivory with a cocobolo wood top.

Very nice design. Where is the screw located? Under the knot?

 

[Maher]

this is very nice and the fact that you can change the top to accomodate different types of badger grades is very nice

It right under the knot.

The huge handle next to the ivory piece has a very large top with a 1 1/4 inch deep hole. I am still working on that handle. The deep hole allow me to glue the knot to top of a machine screw and then I can adjust the knot up or down in the hole. The screw fits through both pieces and when I tighten the two pieces it becomes one solid unit. This gives me an adjustable knot that allows me to bury the knot for a chubby type brush or adjust for the maximum bristles to show for a more floppy brush. Not very elegant in design of the adjusting knot but it works.

Adjustable knot? That is a wayyy sweet design and a beatiful brush!

DrP

Your Jessica is wonderful and I am sure the judges will not mark down for the extra weight she gained!

Let me present for your consideration my petite Jessica at 36, 13, 36 mm. Yes, I said 36 millimeters.

As she states " I am not bad, I'm just turned that way on a lathe."

Okay, we concede that your Jessica is number 1!
