that be Canada. most of my view is British Columbia. Idaho Falls is just at 550 miles from me. good hunting over there.
on that vent pick i ran a 1/16th pin through the rod just touching the pick. made a good friction retainer.
just finished turning another pick from 1/8 inch rod. tapered it . much stronger.

I may have missed it, but what are the bristles made from on the brush?

Boars hair.

I finished this one yesterday, just need to cut it off and seal the end. It has a 1/8" hickory dowel that will fit through the cleanout hole in my drum.
