Superb! I can only imagine the price for that pair. When finished, they should be cased. Have you given any thought to designing a nice wooden display case?

Thanks! Yes, I have given some thought to this...it would be fantastic to create something similar to what some of the custom makers have done for their straights. I'd be a bit worried about the knot of the brush being deformed in a case, but I guess that's a pretty easy hurdle to overcome.
Once I have the finished products, I'm sure some inspiration will come for a good case.
Absolutely Beautiful!
WRT the case (if made), you could leave enough air-space around the bloom to to allow nothing to touch and deform the knot, or have a clear acrylic tube in which to place the brush when stored in the case. If slid into the tube from the handle side, no damage would be done (similar to a travel brush).
Since you want a set, may I suggest making custom scales if you decide to start using straights?
