silvertip badger, figured mesquite.

"knot" sure if you read this or another thread, but there's some good advice here. Hope it turns out well for you. Looks like it should be a beauty!!

glued the knot. I set it pretty high, but the hole flares up and out at the top which should provide some support for the bristles after it blooms.

Looks great,pls post a bloom pick whenyou can.
