2, Acrylic and wood
Here's 2 brushes I have finished. The first is a chubby style brush made from Cocobolo and Olive wood. The knot is a big 30mm that's from Maggard's. I must say, this is a lovely knot if anyone is looking for quality knots to use. It was great fun using 2 woods that I really love, and it's been a long time since I've done a nice big handle like this. I really enjoyed turning this one.

The second brush is a combination of 2 acrylics. The shape of the handle is a classic barber style handle, and is about the only shape I can do to accommodate a 30mm badger knot, and is exactly what this knot is. Working with smaller material, but trying to keep it as big as I possibly can so the handle doesn't dwarf the giant badger knot. I think it turned out nicely.
Thanks for looking Gents!

Those brushes are completely different in style/material and both are beautiful. Very nice work.

If a Mod uses expletives, does that mean I can too?
