High quality brush handles you can knot yourself?

[JCinPA]

So I've reknotted a few vintage brushes in the past. I don't have a lathe or want to make handles. But I have certain favorite knots (I favor boars and badger over synth, although I use all three). But I rarely see brushes I really want in handles I really like.

For instance, I just got a PAA Amber Aero Lite synth and it is hands down my favorite brush handle. But I'd really like it in a finest badger or a bleached boar knot, rather than the synth. Plenty of places sell brush knots, but is there a place that sells really nice handles that are not yet knotted you can knot yourself?

Forgive me if this is common knowledge, I did not know how to search for it.

Steam the knot and replace it.

I cannot use them since I mount only 30mm knots, but I really like the handles made by OUMO.

I have mounted several knots on handles made by Boti, however most of them are drilled only 12mm deep so not all knots would work with them. I used one from Maggard for the only 28mm knot I have ever purchased, one from APshaving, and one chubby style from Thegoldennib. They are all OK but I am not sure I would call the high end handles.

Hmmmm. That's not a bad idea. I want to keep that synthetic brush, but I could buy a couple more and reknot them. I just love that handle. Not a bad idea at all.

Exactly why I make my own However, some knots are in-house only and can’t be recreated (short of parasitizing another brush).

Rudy Vey can make you one to your specs.
