The Highland Cow horn, has a walnut base, with two mosaic pins, and sports a 24mm Finest knot, set at 50mm.

They both felt good in the hand. I did not have to add any weight, as is sometimes the case, especially with horn.

All work by hand, other than boring the hole for the knot, and final finishing with a buffing mop.

Now they are impressive Steve.
I love them, great work.

+1 for Tarkus comments, great work!

Oh wow. That red hue to the horn is stunning. Really fantastic. +1 for scottish craft :dropjaw:

I like how you used the natural shape, but yet still paired with other materials. Nice job

couldn't have said it better! Beautiful work.

Very nice, I really like to see a non-symetrical brush handle (not turned) once in a while.

Wow, not a huge brush guy, but those are great!

Nicely done!!
