There's a green woodworking group I belong to on Facebook and in it there's a large number of extremely talented people who make some gorgeous and wonderful things.
One of them is Ulf Anderson Eckhardt and he's just posted a series of pictures of how he makes traditional brushes from green hazel. I asked him if I could share the pictures of how he does it as I thought folks on here would like to see the process. As you can see he kindly agreed to let me
Apparently they're made this way by Native North American tribes.
To give you an idea of what he makes these are some of his completed brushes.
This is how he does it in stages
And this is how he teases the bristles out from the wood.
