    Default DIY knot and long handled cherry and pewter brush

    Months ago i salvaged a nice boar bristle paint brush to make a knot out of and showed it here. finally got the handle done. it's the longest one i've made so far a 4 inches.

    the rings are inlaid in the handle (they remind me of The Jetsons antennas) like this,
