I couldn't wait. If everything doesn't fit, I guess I get to make another one. I used spalted Tamarind, and a superglue, and wax finish. Its pretty light. I was thinking about seeing how it feel when the brush gets here, and maybe drilling a hole under the brush, and melting some lead into the bottom of the handle to add a little heft. I'm too cheap to buy a good brush, so I guess I'm lucky I have the ability to hopefully make my own. :D
