Making an Aluminum Brush Handle

[twhite]

Glad it helped. Thats why I though it would be good to have in one place, as when I first started looking at knots it was a bit of a minefield googling it.
I got my finest knot from TGN, it my favorite badger brush.

that is a nice looking Butterscotch handle. Who makes it?

Here are a few pictures of it polished up. I need to get some 600 and 1000 grit to really get it nice.

Very nice indeed!
Now just put a brass collar on it and its a perfect companion brush.

Love the rather organic looking handle shape

Thank you. Its a Vulfix, not sure of the model. I did look into one time but can't remember what was found.

Great work, Tom. I love the handle shape and it's so satisfying making something like that yourself. Hats off, buddy!

I weighed the handle it is 74 grams.

Very cool! It'll gain a nice patina over the years too.

Yes this should last a few lifetimes. My son uses my cast of AoS brush. When I eventually croak, he will have some pretty cool stuff to sell

That's what your last will & testament is for, take it with you, for you got to meet your maker clean shaven and all that
