Gonna try and make my own brush

[Scotchd]

And I need some advice on where to buy the Badger hair knot.

The Golden Nib seems to be a good resource, but I would like to take a look at other suppliers (I'm a thorough kinda guy)

Any recomendations from the B&B crowd on a good badger knot supplier - that supplies good high quality knots and ships fairly quickly?

Thanks in advance for everyone's help!

Only other source I know of is this one.

You have to call in to order and both David and his wife Renee while very nice people like to talk so expect to be on the phone for 20-30 minutes.

Or Arizona Silhouette... Having said that, I should also say that Tony's Golden Nib is probably the premier source for individual knots, with a VERY good price/quality ratio. (Look at the knots on Tony's web site and blankety-blanks e.g. and notice that they look very similar, only Tony's are cheaper...).

Just use Tony @ TGN

I think the knots the TGN are top notch. Ive become addicted to restoring brushes.

Done - I'm going to order a few (maybe a dozen to get the discount!) tomorrow.

Ok, so maybe not a dozen, maybe 2-3 to get started. But I feel the Brush AD coming on...

Don't forget to show it off when you're finished....

You can't go wrong with a knot from Tony. I've done two so far, and still have one of them...

mm, I've got a couple of spare knots stuffed away just in case.

But that's cause they take so long to ship to Tasmania and if I find a new handle I don't want to wait ( just hope they're the right size ).....that's my excuse anyways

Are you kiddin me? Half the reason I am doing it is to post pictures of it when I am done!!

I hope to get all the mats next week, and finish the brush (in my friend's workshop, with his *very* heavy guidance) sometime the week after.
