Thanks Jason! It can be nasty, if not taken seriously. I like it, a real brush hog, especially with a fine new Feather blade. Feather on! tp

I've always admired this particular handle style as I've had two similar ones made for friends. @clint64 helped me choose the knot, a 26 mm SHD Maggards two band fan. I wasn't in the market for another brush, but I think this one will be a great addition. I'll have #160 and either 394 or 395. Between Tom, Jason, and Jim, I have been blessed with some wonderfully crafted one-of-a-kind brushes. We sure do have some talented craftsman in our community, and I include @MrEE in this elite group also.
