15 days ago I decided to make my own custom brush (named King brush). I ordered Cocobolo wood and silvertip 24x67 mm knot. The final result is down on the photo:

Beautiful.:beer2:
I am just not a fan of wood. But that is a beautiful brush. Well done sir.
It looks very professional.
Very nice work! Be sure and let us know how it performs :)
good looking brush. love the handle
That's a nice brush.
Also nice knot
Very nice. Like the grain in that wood. What did you use to finish it? And where do you buy the knots? I have a wood lathe and was thinking abou giving it a try.
Looks real nice. That is a tall knot. I'm guessing you don't have to go around a moustache.
Did you make a holder for it as well?

looks great, every time i try to turn a handle the grain never ends up looking good like that, i dont know what im doing wrong.

The knot is TGN.
I really do not know what you are doing wrong if you do something wrong.Quote:
