I was working on handles for a TOST Limited Edition brush today, and this one was a reject. The handle part was a bit too small, so I repurposed it. I had a couple of mahogany blanks, and I used one to make a ferrule for this brush. I drilled it out and shaped it in a bulbous shape. That will be the shape of the ferrules that Tom White is making from aluminum for the LE brushes. So, this is similar to what the LE brushes will look like except that the ferrule will be aluminum and it will have a different knot. This brush is not finished yet. I have not decided which knot to put in it. I am leaning toward the faux horse knot, far right.
Update: February 2
I decided to go with the two-band synthetic.
