I have created two handles by special request and set one of them with a TGN HMW knot. Unfortunately I did not have a chance to take measurements of the brush and/or handles, but they are about 60mm tall with a 25mm knot opening. In the pictures the knot is dry fitted into both handles, but the one that got the knot in the end is the darker handle in Royal Jacaranda Dymondwood. The other handle is in Dakota Dymondwood

I have completed three more brushes.
First one is in Deep Purple PR and sports an M7-type shape. This ended up being a large 30mm brush. It is really lovely to look at and hold. Nice and hefty.
Brush Dimensions (approximate):
Total height: 115m
Handle: 62mm
Loft: 53mm
Knot: 30mm Bulb shape
Please excuse the pinkish tint to the pictures, but I have yet to figure out how to represent purple colors in digital photography. I have never seen this color come out correctly without tinting the rest of the picture. In any case, the handle color is more or less correctly represented on the pictures. Originals showed the handle as blue. It really is purple. If anyone knows how to get the color purple correct with a digital camera without affecting the rest of the picture let me know, please.HARRYWALLY and Substance like this.Wherever you go, there you are.

Second brush is in Burnt Butterscotch Pearl PR and is inspired by Ever-Ready vintage brushes. I really like those hourglass Ever-Ready brushes and feel they provide a very comfortable handle for a shaving brush.
Brush Dimensions (approximate):
Total height: 116mm
Handle: 62mm
Loft: 54mm
Knot: 27mm Bulb shape

The third brush is a small travel brush. I've been a fan of Simpson Wee Scot for years now and have built a small travel brush with two band finest that I really enjoy and always travel with it and a stick of Arko for a perfect shave on the road every time. I used Dymondwood "Tortoise" pattern with yet another take on Ever-Ready vintage shape.
Brush Dimensions (approximate):
Total height: 90mm
Handle: 49mm
Loft: 41mm
