Post your Sailor whisk Pictures here

Hi All thought i would start a topic and see how many different types of Sailor Whisk examples we can get on here ?!

Happy Posting.

This one was made for Andi at KC Engineering in Jersey out of 18mm Manila, i made my mate one a real chunky beast, apparently Dave swears that there the best brushes out there .

Here is one that I made using a Matthew Walker knot. Also as you can see I have not combed it out (tut tut).

I like the one with the handle, even though it was not combed out.

To be honest, there is a very good reason for that. The rope is off and old fishing vessel and I noticed as I was working it the fibres were breaking up. Therefore, I decided not to comb it, as I would end up with a bald head and a comb over :wink:

1/4" sisal rope. I added a 3rd strand to increase the size of the knot and whisking part.
