I hope Bill doesn't mind me posting this - but just too cool not to share.
He turned this from a nice bar of lignum I couldn't bear to mess up with my ineptitude. The base is a super nice piece of ivory and plugged with Gabon ebony.
Knot is 22 mm two band. Can't wait to try it put in the morning. Thanks Bill!

Very nice!
That brush is breath-taking. Don’t mean to sound so dramatic, but there’s no other words for it. Bill does beautiful work, and uses some very special timbers.Quote:

Great looking classic profile to that brush. Congrats and enjoy.

Thanks everyone. Gave it a whirl this morning and love it. Soft tips but plenty of backbone. Holds a boatload of water compared to my pure badger. Good times!
The 1-2-3 block is a nice touch. The anvils in pics are overdone.
Haha thanks. Was trying to find something I could use for pictures and thought that'd work well. I was also experimenting with a little homemade light box. I just need some lights now :)Quote:

Bill makes incredible stuff. I ahve several of his brushes and they are simply works of art you can use daily. Enjoy your new brush.
Lovely! Now ask yourself "Where else are you gonna get THAT?"
Beautiful work, Bill! :chapeau
DO NOT DROP!!!! :)
Exactly. Nothing like one of a kind stuff. It's like a little shrine sitting up there in its stand all by itself on the counter.Quote:
