    Default SOLID SET w/ new knot

    Bought this handle on the B/S/T and popped a TGN finest badger XH fan-shaped knot in her. I love this brush! I set the knot in some marine epoxy, stuff works well. I set the loft by stacking cut up credit card squares then smashing epoxy around them. 22mm knot set around 50mm loft. Used about a 1/2 dozen times. This is my first time trying this and I think it ended up pretty decent. Plus that sort of burgandy/maroon color is my favorite B-)

    Awesome Handle! I'm looking for a burgundy-ish colored handle as well. So nice looking!

    It's all good, even when it's not.

    Nice job, and a great choice of knot for that handle. Well done!

    I agree that turned out very nice. I am starting to like the fan shape the more I see it.

    A little late to the party, but that's a really nice brush!
