A couple black Badgers.
Here's 2 black badgers I just got done. The lighter colored handle is spalted lilac and the second is crotch walnut. Both have amazing grain figuring which really pops with the gloss polyurethane finish I sprayed on. The badger knots are Lee Valley 20mm set at a 53mm loft. These are nice little brushes.
Burls, Girls, and all things that Swirl....

Nice work. That's an especially nice piece of walnut, and I've never seen lilac turned before. Did you harvest it yourself? I really like black badger. My two favorite brushes are a black badger, set at 46mm, and a silver tip, also at 46. Opposite ends of the softness spectrum. Go figure.

Pops cut a lilac tree down many years ago and hung onto some of the nicer sized pieces. He's used most of it up but I got a hold of some before it was all gone.
