I found a badger knot supplier. Thought I would make my own brush. Ordered the knot, reasonably priced at about $15US. When it arrived, realized I don't have access to a wood shop to turn a handle. Now for the fun. Any suggestions for a handle for a 23mm knot? If I remember it was a finest grade not silvertip. The site carried both, I opted for a finest for my first attempt to keep the financial officer, wife, happy. When I can figure out to post a pic, I will. The knot is 22x67mm.

I was thinking maybe something as simple as PVC or copper pipe fittings. Let the creative juices start flowing.

Thanks all.]
