JR #478 and JR #479 Completed

 I finished 478 and 479 today by setting the synthetic knots. That was the last step. I thought about this design for a few weeks. I had piece of cherry that was turned to be a table leg but did not make it. I cut it down into a square prism of 1.5" x 1.5". 




I think these are going to be some good lathering brushes.
