So I emailed Lee 6 days ago and placed an order for a brush. We sent about 4 emails back and forth that first day and I actually paid for the brush as well. However, since sending payment I have emailed him twice requesting an approximate date of completion and pictures when possible and I have received no response at all. Has anyone else been having trouble contacting him or know if he may have gone out of town? I've only heard such good things about doing business with him, so I am a little surprised about this experience.
I spoke to lee yesterday. It turns out he did have one last colport blue Lee7 handle. It was a 26mm so, I had no choice on knot diameter. I went with a 26mm x 52mm. I really wanted to do a matching set of colport blue Lee7 and stubby but he said that material is gone. Some good news is that Lee said I can buy and send him an acrylic blank of my choice, under the agreement that if anything happens to it before it is shipped back to me as a brush he is not responsible. I find this acceptable as the blanks are not terribly expensive. I might just send him two identical blanks then if one gets damaged, he has another one to work with. I thought it was nice of him to accomodate this special request. I thought I would share this information with you guys who are looking to get that " special " brush. Below are a couple blanks I'm considering....

I have another Lee7 that is a 24mm x 50. It is almost perfect size for me. I'm sure I will like the 26mm as well. I have knots larger than this but they are both stubby or chubby handles and shorter lofts. I think a 26mm x 52mm sounds about right for a longer handle like the lee7
