Jeffrey, those look great, a fantastic job, especially for your first brushes. I know that your father was thrilled. I also like your knot choices, and they complement the handles well. The only...
Glad I could be of some help, Aaron. I get my knots from several different places. Here in the US, both Golden Nib and Whipped Dog are good suppliers. Golden Nib has a bit larger selection as far as...

Sign me up, I'm due for a win.
Joe,
I make a large cutting board with a blood groove and reservoir that I sell at a local kitchen store and a local craft gallery. The board is 22" x 16" x 1 3/4". When I originally designed it,...
