looks like you're on the right track now. Great work!
Your loft on that 30mm is probably a little on the higher side IMO. Not a bad thing. If it were mine, I'd shoot for around 54-55mm.Last edited by HARRYWALLY; 10-22-2016 at 02:04 AM.

It was ordered in 58, but from where the top edge of the epoxy base it's like 60+mm. Hope it holds some lather!

Ok I'm done! It's not 100% as far as fit and finish. I just accept it as my first brush and will learn on the next ones. Overall. Looks great to me. Time to set the knot and then test this bad boy out!

Loft came in right at 55mm. I'm so excited waiting on this epoxy to fully cure!

Holy smokes guys. This knot is the real deal. I'm completely blown away at the performance. I always struggle building up MWF. This brush accomplished that task in what seemed like an instantaneous amount of time. And, as far as I can tell, it has some scritch to it!
Pre bloom.
Lather test.
One use bloom.
The wood grain.
This particular knot was the d01 two band. It's in the 30mm size with 58mm loft. The knot depth in the brush gives a loft of 55mm. This is hands down a top of the line performer and must have for any brush connoisseur.

I'll take one in a 20 or 22mm....... You can have the 30!!!This particular knot was the d01 two band. It's in the 30mm size with 58mm loft. The knot depth in the brush gives a loft of 55mm. This is hands down a top of the line performer and must have for any brush connoisseur.
Glad it all came together for you Kyle. The fact that you made the handle makes it even more special, am I right!?? Enjoy brother!Burls, Girls, and all things that Swirl....
