Thanked: 43Well here is the great reveal. It took a while to get the knot but it's epoxied and set now. I'm looking forward to using it tonight and for many years to come.

Thanked: 43For sure!!
I found this brush in an antique store. Once I got it home I used a pair of pliers and and grabbed the old knot perpendicular to the direction of the hairs and twisted. Most of the hairs came out and then I just cleaned up the rest. I found out that the brush had a false bottom under the hairs so I drilled through that and pulled it out. Then I measured the hole diameter and ordered the knot that I wanted. I put a quarter into the handle as a false bottom and epoxied it in. Once the knot got here I soaked it so it bloomed and then began to test fit it to determine the loft I liked. I filled the rest of the handle with marine epoxy and installed the knot to the desired height. Let it dry for 12 hours and viola!!
It was a fun project and I love the result.
