    Default Horsey

    Here's the brush I ended up putting together with the 24mm horse knot. I left it unglued and lathered with it this morning. Very soft and did a decent job with the Marlborough SC. It did a decent job with the Col. Conk last night too. The loft was set at 48mm but it's not the knot for me, way too soft. I'll go with a super badger or a grade A at some point.

    Is that a knot from PC Woodcraft? And how did you keep it in the handle to lather if you left it unglued? Great looking handle, by the way.

    Does this mean you'll be posting the knot to the BST?
    Please don't tempt me to buy anymore.

    Yes it is.

    Snug enough fit. It moves around a bit but not enough to hamper lathering.

    I think Poncho, the cat, will end up with it.

    nice job,.....as a rule,you don't find knots made from horse hair densely packed like a chubby or duke.I am guessing the characteristics of the hair won't permit it,but it sure would be nice !.
