After mowing the yard today and maybe a few other things depending on SWMBO I am making my brush handle today. I just finished the drawing. It will have a magnet in the end for hanging. What do you think? You probably have until about noon to voice your opinion, after that it will be a done deal.

Looks excellent!

What kind of wood and where did you get the knot?

The wood is cocobolo, off a very nice piece I have.

Looks good, Moses. Like the magnet in the base. What are you planning to affix the magnet to? I just put a screw in the top of my bathroom cabinet, but the wife didn't love that. She got used to it, though.

I am ordering a bowl from Amazon this week sometime and will set the bowl on a shelf in my bath cabinet and put a screw about centered in the shelf above the bowl for the brush to stick to. That will keep my wife happy I think.
