Brush Handles Made without a Lathe?

[Alum of Potash]

I see a lot of custom work featuring turned handles on a lathe. Quite elegant. But what about handles made with other instruments, resulting in a more angular design as if sawn or hewn, or smoothed as if off a lathe? Might they not have an appeal of their own? Any posted image examples of these with explanations as to the process used would be appreciated.

I don't have any to show, but I have seen other handles made without a lathe. I've heard of people using a drill (especially for making the hole for the knot), others using a pocket knife, others used carving tools.

There are a few examples here but it takes quite a bit of searching to find them. Sorry I don't have any specific examples.

Something along these lines, perhaps?

Here is one of my very old threads:

Had a delay in the laser engraving, but here is my first completed brush build. The only thing left is to test drive(shave) with it.
Thank you all for the encouragements.

Heh, long hiatus from me in here, but ran across your thread so I thought I'd share mine.
