Yesterday, I got out on a beautiful day to try something new in brush making. I cut two blanks on a 45 degree angle to the grain. I used mostly sanding and a dremel to shape the brushes. You will notice that on the bottom of the handles I have made flutes on a 45 degree angle, too. I made a video of the nearly finished products featuring the Omega 49 boar knot in 338 and the Maggard blonde synthetic knot in 339. jrshaving.blogspot.com/2019/01/jayaruh-338-and-339.htmlToday, I am going to drill out the middle of the brushes and add some extra weight to them. Here is what they look like right now. I have ordered a couple of more Omega 49s for use in brushes like this.

That's a great looking brush! It's a shame about the other one

Good to be back! Between pastoring and driving a snowplow I’ve been quite busy... but smooth shaved
