That is one fine looking shaving brush, Bruce, grats. The other, browner one also is gorgeous, is that the same wood?

The purple one is a spare handle made up from a different piece of yew.

All three are beautiful pieces of wood (first pic) and I too would be happy with any of the bunch. That said though - IMHO the center one, the one you chose and had knotted, is the most stunning of the bunch. Congrats on your new brush, a wonderful reward for your efforts to 'turn lemons into lemonade'... and kudos to Beejay on both his craftsmanship and professionalism.
Well done all the way around!
