Since the last brush I made him wasn't quite what he was hoping for I made another brush for my friend. Luckily he had bought one of the knots for me and one for him so I kept the first one.
This brush like the first is made from black Linen material soaked in polyester resin sprinkled with aluminum shavings then crammed into a plastic spice jar to make the blank. There were some voids in the blank because I don't have a pressure chamber. Once I got the blank turned to rough shape I filled the voids with more aluminum shavings and CA glue then finished turning and sanding. Then quite a few layers of CA finish went on. And lots of sanding and polishing. I'm pretty confident this brush is what he was hoping for. I look forward to giving it to him.
