Birds eye Maple and Horn

My finest Badger knot decided to pop out of the old handle I made. Decided it needed a new home as it's my favorite. Guess I didn't have it sealed the whole way around, at any rate a good excuse to make a new one :)

that is a beauty!! would go great with this one I did.

I see that! Very nice, I like it. If I hadn't glued the knot in all ready I might have offered it to you. They certainly look like they belong together.
I have a good bit of Birds eye left and some horn, I may have to try my hand at a rescale.

Great work!

I bought a cheap lathe and want my first handle to be something like that length, since I almost always use a nice big scuttle. But, I wonder if I make a handle that large - how to store it? It looks like you could hang that one. Or, could you stand it on the base? Or, just lay it down on it's side?

Honestly I wish I could hang it but I can't, it stands on it's base. I could probably lay it in my scuttle it's tall enough to not cause an issue.
I had an old Ever Ready that I had restored and sold last year, and I regretted selling it. The brush handle is based on that Ever Ready, it didn't hang either. I think it would look p-r-e-t-t-y cool hanging....

Now that I'm looking at it again, with the initial thought I had that it could hang - I still think it could, but you'd just need a taller than normal stand. I wasn't thinking it'd hang, like many do, next to the bristles, but in the small of the handle.

Any way you store it - cool brush. I like the scuttle idea. If I make one that doesn't fit standing up on my cabinet shelf I can always stand it bristles up in the scuttle to dry.

I was going to say, you could make a custom stand for it. Or another idea I've seen used is a magnet in the end of the handle with a magnet hidden in the stand, or if you have metal shelves in your cabinet it could stick there.
