Here's a question for all you brush makers. Would it be possible to take an existing brush (knot and all) and chuck it up in the lathe and reshape part of the handle? I have a brush and the knot is quite nice but the handle is a little to chunky to be comfortable for me. I like the brush and would like to keep it. It would need to be tapered some at the bottom half of the brush. Possible without destroying the knot? The handle part of the brush is 2 3/8" tall and 1 1/2 " in diameter.

Perfect!!
I've tried re-turing a wooden brush, but always with the knot out so that my chuck has something to hold on to.. I don't know how you would turn the bottom of the handle with the knot still in the brush.
