This knot works very well with the Wild West Brush. Two passes for a near BBS. My grand daugthers are taking me Christmas shopping tomorrow. It could get expensive, but that's okay.
Thanks Guy, it's the real deal. Thanks Douglas. That was a beautiful story, thank you for sharing it.
Excellent setup Doug. Derek (WWBW) IMHO makes excellent handles at a reasonable price point and I own five handles from him. So, expensive for the granddaughters or your pocketbook? I have just one grandchild and I spoil her rotten.
Guy, the grand daughters don't bring money when they go out with their Papa. I pay, that's the deal, and I don't mind a bit.
Thanks Guy. I'm talking to Derek about a few other projects. I like his work. This brush was ordered first part of November, we thought it was lost. He was going to give me a full refund for the handle if it was lost.

I found Derek a pleasure to work with. Four of the five brushes I told him the style, dimensions and color blanks I was looking for and he was up to the challenge as two of them he hand not undertaken the style before and two were his design we tweaked a bit and he came through like a champ. Cant wait to see what you two come up with.
