    Default Hate the brush - Love the handle. Never done this before.

    Horsehair, apparently, is not my bag. After a minute in the vice out popped the knot neat and complete with metal retainer band - nail protruding from the base of the handle, totally clean of glue.

    So, brush guys, I am on the hunt for some power-badger or nice boar bristle. What do I measure as far as diameter and from what point is length measured? How is density measured? And from whence come replacement knots?

    I await your kind direction. Favorite brushes? Semogue 1305 (perfectly soft and a great size) and an Omega 10049 (perfectly stiff and almost too big).

    Well, thanks! You are the man.

    So, for the record how does one identify the length? Top to bottom regardless of bore depth?

    The knots I have are 60mm tall but you can make the higher if you wish with a spacer,Pennys work well.
