have not been able to find the real deal in a very long time in a size for brush handles.
I scored a small Lignum log recently (will last me a very long time)
So what the hay,lets dance with what we got.
Lignum with a spun copper band.(teaching myself the old art of metal spinning)
The other has a fossil walrus Ivory top band cut from a eskimo sled runner (thousands of years old) alas I have no more both knots are TGN grade As.
A good day in the shop.
