I am getting two Maggard synthetic knots in today. If either of you guys really want this brush, I can put the two-band Maggard, black Maggard, or Omega boar in it for you. Bidding starts at ONE MILLION DOLLARS. Just kidding. I will post pictures of #149 with all three knots later today. Mail gets here usually by 4PM.
I can attest being a multi Jayaruh brush owner that Jim's handles have evolved progressively better with each new handle. Nothing mass produced can match a bespoke item. Individual care and workmanship is apparent. Take it slowly and keep up the good work. Glad to hear you're back.
They knots came in. I have the two-band synthetic, the black synthetic, and the boar. Here are some dry fit pics. Left to right: #148, #149, #150. Dark Chocolate Brushes.
I łike the beehive too but the wood grain on the one on the left has the most dark grain and ties in nice to the dark chocolate knot.
I just couldn't resist the craftsmanship and Jim had another that looked similar. I call them French Vanilla and Dark Chocolate! I will be the proud owner of two Jayaruh brushes!! I think they look good together. My version of a mixed box of candies.
JR#149 ended up getting the Maggard two-band synthetic as requested by @Sparrow and is on its way to Japan.
JR#150 now has the Maggard black synthetic knot. It is staying home with me for the present. I will be using it after a week with #145.
