A stiffy. :)

This is a rehandle I did for a fellow member who wanted an Omega 98 slammed down to a 50mm loft. This will be a nice firm, stiff boar brush. The materials are Briar burl top and bottom, with a piece of birdseye maple cut on an angle also on the top. The mid portion is African blackwood. I left a bit of bark on the one edge of the Briar burl, to give it some character. I also ran into some problems when a bunch of inclusions came flying out of the top portion when boring the hole for the knot. I was hopping that section would stay and match the bottom but didn't. Hence, the section of birdseye maple. Its cut along the length of the eyes which gives a ton of Chatoyance in the light.

Here it is, and thanks for looking!
