Finally got around to making a quick brush in between other projects. Applied a few coats of danish oil then sanded to 12,000 grit for a nice satin luster. I really like the more natural look vs a CA finish but not sure how it will hold up with repeated use. I did seal the inside of the cup with CA though. 24mm Shave Revo finest badger, was supposed to be set at 50mm. I measured the knot after drilling a 17mm deep hole only to find it wad 70mm instead of the advertised 67mm, so loft is 53mm. At only 60mm I think the handle is a bit too small. Originally intended to have a bead at the bottom of the walnut, but walnut being what it is, a chip flew off so the lower bead was scrapped. I think it would've looked much nicer with it so I didn't glue the knot in & will try again. It's the last knot I have and I'm in a restraint so I won't glue it in until I have the handle I want.

Very nice.
Looks pretty good Jay!
Very nice. I like the finish too. What did you use to glue the wood together?

Very nice looking!
Looks good, but if you only have one knot on hand you should be sure it's exactly what you had in mind.
The two tone works really well. I like it.
