My hand made brush... no turning here!

Lovely work, very unusual. How do you fix the knot in the hole?

That looks great. I'd probably buy it if I saw it in a shop.

Can you hang it in a conventional stand for drying? If not I guess your next project will be a custom stand?

Yeah man, that brush looks great! I'd love to see some pics 'in hand' too! Nice lines.

Nice job, beautiful wood, very thoughtful combination

Thinking outside the box, you really pushed the envelope.

Really good looking brush.

you glue the knot in the hole with a waterproof/marine grade epoxy (any epoxy really).

You guessed right.. that is my next project, but I have not tried it in a conventional stand yet.. I had always planned on making a stand for this one specifically.

That looks great! The shape look so natural, I bet it would be a lot more comfortable to hold with a handle like that. Makes a lot more sense.

Nicely done, and I really like the idea that it is not round.

Feel free to copy my super-deluxe brush stand:

Instructions:

Take piece of stiff mains wire;
Bend into shape.

I made this in a idle moment, but it works so well I actually use it. Shame it's the ugliest holder on the planet.
