Spun this one this evening. Alternative Ivory, finest badger. I plan to stain it with tea, we'll see how that goes... Didn't measure my loft, but final height should be around 47mm

My absolute favorite style of brush handle and I have no less than 7 of these, 3 of which are custom turned.
Fantastic job and I cant wait to see it after you attempt to dye it. Please post up the result! I think these are very difficult to turn and have look good. Keeping the lines evenly spaced etc seems like it would be a true test of ones skill. You seem to have nailed it. I love this brush!
Thank you Jimmy! Appreciate the feedback. Used the few measurements I had to get it close, handle height and brush loft, the rest was by eye. I plan on trying to find a fabric dye hopefully close to butterscotch...haven't checked into it yet but fingers crossed that I can find something close....Quote:

Very nice. I love the classic look.
That is a very nice brush, congrats on your accomplishment! I am interested to see how the tea stain turns out. Keep use posted.
Will due, plans have changed I'm going to get some fabric dye and try that. Hopefully the end result will be close to butterscotchQuote:

I was going to start a search on what people were using to adhere the knots to the handle. Also, what size knot did you use?
I use Epoxy, usually the translucent clear . The knot is a 24mm Finest F2 Badger knot from TGN.Quote:
