I don't know how you guys turn the plastics so well. It fights me every time. I look at it wrong and it grabs the tool.

My tool of choice for all my brushes is a mini Henry Taylor (Sheffield) 1/4" gouge. Don't just use the very tip and go 90degrees at the pieces. Just like a razor, try going at the piece on 60 degree angle pushing the cut line back towards the headstock. You should be cutting strands not chips when it comes to acrylic. Be patient and take your time doing the cuts. Light cuts are the key!

Great looking brush, tidy work on setting the knot makes it look extra sweet.
