I do have the opportunity to custom order these blanks in larger sizes to accommodate the larger knots and full range of handle styles.
As you can see from the pictures below, the color combinations are pretty extensive, including both transparent and opaque resins.
I would truly appreciate it if you could reply to this thread and let me know your favorite one or two color combinations and if there is an interest in the larger sizes. It will help me with my next order.
As always, thanks for looking,

i like the 2nd group better, especially the Stormy Ocean and Classic Beeline. I'm sure a 26mm Manchurian will be perfect!
I really like the first group. These look amazing.

I just completed the brush shown below and it is available on my site at http://www.eliterazor.com. The handle is a custom pour of 2 shades of pearl blue and it is topped off with a 26mm Manchurian White knot at a 52mm loft. I can also set a 3-band High Mountain White knot into the handle, if you prefer.

Below are a couple new pieces that just came out of the shop this morning. The two brushes are Desert Ironwood Burl. Both are currently set up for a 24mm knot, but can be adjusted to accommodate a 26mm knot. The razor is a custom Merkur 34G and the handle is made of Duck feathers that were individually laid on a brass tube, then cast in clear resin. This handle is also available to be set up for a 3-piece razor.
These are all listed and available at http://www.eliterazor.com

Just listed on my site at http://www.eliterazor.com are the 2 brushes shown below.
Irish Bog Oak with a Kingman Turquoise cap. If you like a big brush, this might be the one for you. It holds a 28mm knot, which actually presents like a 30mm knot due to the density. The handle is 89mm and the loft is 56mm.
Desert Ironwood Burl - 24 - 26mm I only a a few remaining pieces of this exceptionally highly figured burl.

I've been working on this brush for a while and the finish was finally fully cured this morning. It is an extraordinary piece of Buckeye burl with a contrasting green pearl resin. It is shown with a 24mm knot, but can be adjusted to accept a 26mm knot.
Buckeye grows in the central states of the US. The botanical name for the Buckeye is Aesculus, from “Aesculapius,” the name of the mythological Greek god of medicine. The common name “Buckeye” was derived from the Native Americans who noticed that the glossy, chestnut-brown seeds with the lighter circular “eye” looked very similar to the eye of a buck (male) deer. Some believe that the buckeye relieves rheumatism pain and provides good fortune when carried in the pockets of their garments or worn as an amulet around the neck. Instantly dubbed “buckeye” in frontier speech, the mysterious nut was used as a general cure-all for generations. As a result, citizens of Ohio became known as “Buckeyes.” The buckeye tree was officially adapted as the state tree on October 2, 1953.

All are shown with a 24mm knot, but can be adjusted to accept a 26mm knot, if you prefer.
Opaque Green Pearl over a translucent Emerald Green base
Burnt Purpleheart - Passing a torch over this handle really brought out the Deep Purple.... listen closely and you can almost hear the opening of Smoke On The Water.
