Basting brush tufts - Sources ?

[PhillH]

Hi,

Anyone know if it's possible to get these kind of things in the UK Turners Select Basting Brush Tuft | Projects | Craft Supplies USA

I have scoured the web, but I may not be searching for the right term

Cheers

Turners Retreat buy regularly from Craft Supplies USA and will probably add to their order if you ask.
They got some Fusion razor kits for me a few months ago though i had to pay the same in £ as they were listed in $

Now they're a good idea Phil and if you source them, I'd be interested.

 

[PhillH]

Pounds for dollars makes them a tad expensive to resell I'd think

Although there's a few people in US with them for sale at 35 - 40 USD

I may see if I can a couple to try and then SWMBO can have them.

Paul I'll let you know if I go ahead and how I get on.

Thanks Phil, of course I'll share all costs with you.

What I need is the tuft only, similar to when you buy a shaving brush head. But thanks for the tip.

I've actually seen the Lakeland ones a while ago and never crossed my mind they could be adapted but I think the existing handle could be removed to get the brush.
I might be near a shop next Monday and if so will have a look see. I might even buy one!

Paul/Phil,

The correct tern is brush knots. Most of them come from a rather unfamiliar place called China, where the badger is a right bloody nuisance and as it has legs and walks gets eaten, and at this point in the cycle of life it's coat is somewhat superfluous. Might be up for a group buy if you are in need of more than one! I have several sources.

If it extends to shaving knots I will watch this.

Peter.

Got myself confused there, thought I was still reading phials thread about the shaving set commission. No idea about basting brush knots, it was shaving knots I was referring to.

No luck so far, all in China and I need to find another 4999 mad woodturners to make it worthwhile.

What's the problem with that Phill? Enough maddies on here and at the rate more or joining you'll soon get that many
