    I had this brush for a while, which I painted black and copper, but kinda got bored with it.I had this idea of changing it's shape and installing another knot..........

    This is how it looked after I used my rotary tool for shaping, enlarging the opening and a lot of hand sanding to get it right. It's made of some kind of resin and created tons of dust. It looks as it was made from two separate pieces as there is a seam line and a different colored insert inside, maybe for strength..........

    I left the copper color on the bottom as sanding wouldn't remove it and I didn't want to create more dust by using the rotary tool. So I just added my initials and number to it. Maybe it wasn't made from scratch, but close enough..........

    And this is the final result. I enlarged the opening to accept a 27mm boar knot, and boy was it close to the edge. I painted the top part cobalt blue and left the bottom part in it's natural color and added a few clear coats.........

    Looks great. This is something I need to look into now that my Jayaruh has replaced my old brush. If the knot is shedding like crazy already I may have a good retread candidate.
