    You didn't tell me about these while I was home. Interesting… They look good though! I think I like the aluminum one even more.

    That burl is fantastic!

    From the looks of these and the aluminum one in the other post, you like tall brushes. I have a rather deep scuttle and am thinking of making a brush that fits it.

    What is the overall height of these brushes if you don't mind me asking?

    Everyone thanks for the kind words!!
    Muskie, sorry forgot to tell ya!
    Hillbillypick, they are about a total length of 4.750". Using a best badger and setting it high has become a favorite of mine. A little more backbone and a fairly soft tip. I likle them a little floppy myself. Also a longer handle keeps it out of the lather on a tall mug. Its just my opinion understand!! Everyone prefers a brush a little different than the next guy.
