Great work indeed, please let me know when they are available I would be in for either or both of these
Really gets the anticipation brewing for these beauties. The rod stock you have sourced is really something special, great looking mixes in all the pictures.
do you anticipate selling blank handles (for those who wish to supply their own knots) or finished brushes only?
Excellent question, I am excited to hear the answer! Beautiful work Ken, I look forward to seeing some finished pieces when the time comes.

Didn't cross my mind to take it that way. It was a completely good and fair question to ask.
Lee's waiting. We have rod coming in, we're still refining some processes, and there are a couple of legal/administrative hurdles to clear.
We're a little behind the schedule I'd hoped to keep, but I think we should be in shape to get a bunch of handles into Lee's hands before the end of October and back to offer for sale here in November or early December, if not sooner. In any case, my guess is we'll manage to get a few in circulation before then. Beyond friends and family, the first batch will be offered exclusively to B&B members.
Still working on that skill too.
We're thinking about something like this:
I'm completely open to doing that, but we'd want to be sure labeling makes a clear distinction between brushes with knots that we provide and handles that have been sold separately.
Awesome update and a wise choice on making a distinction between Brushes and Handles Only....
Logo/Branding looks great and just like everyone else, I can't wait to see what's next!
Your photos have come a long way, but I do miss seeing you in the brush reflection with your arm up in the air

Wow. Every handle is stunning!
Paladin - great name!
"A knight without armor in a savage land." That's how I envision myself.

I would recommend leaving the handles without a logo or with a different placement (base instead of on handle for instance) if sold without a knot. I know I would enjoy the handle just as much without a logo and I would know where it came from and that's all that matters. Paypal ready when you are... 
Thanks again, y'all.
I'm thinking maybe we'll host some kind of KC-area debut.
With BBQ, of course.
We're still getting things lined out, but progress continues. Below is a pair of triplets, three "PK-47s" (don't ask) and three Chiefs.
Beautiful handles, Ken. Blessings to you and your son on your new business endeavor.

Wow! Those are handles are amazing. Definite must haves for the den.
I'd like them all please!
I've been following this for a little while, and I'm getting more and more excited about these. This stuff looks fantastic! My old man had a mishap with his only badger brush - while I really want one of these myself, I would be ecstatic if I could get one of these as a Christmas present for the old man!
Not a color in the line up I don't like. 
the red one is magnificient!
Your products keep getting better and better! The workmanship is grand but you are also utilizing some wonderful material.
