Love the chubby style handle in Cape Buffalo horn. What knot did you use?

How do you actually put a brush together.Quote:

Enjoy old novels on Africa. The one animal that seems to be always talked about is the buffalo. It's the one natural animal product that I'd like a brush made from.
Did working with horn cause any particular problems with respect to turning?
Nice looking brush BTW.
