Today, I was expecting some knots from Whipped Dog, but they evidently have gotten bogged down in the USPS. However, a pure badger knot arrived via China Post in just 10 days. I really did not expect it for another two to three weeks. This is the knot I had ordered for my #5 handle. The hole was just wide enough, but I had to make it deeper to give it a 50 mm loft.

Very nice.

Great job!

Excellent job. I'm jealous.

Beeeeeeautiful.

Ed

that's a nice brush

How is the quality of the knot you received?

`For $6.50 shipped I am not complaining. I got the same knot for my #3 brush. It has a little scritch, but it does the job. I will give this one a test run tomorrow evening.

Thanks, I've seen them listed and often wondered. How deep do you mount them? And what diameter hole is needed?

Steve

I initially made the hole to accommodate a nickel and about 3/8 inch deep. When the knot arrived I used my dremmel and made the hole about .068" deep. The left me with about a 2 inch loft (about 50mm).

I will post pictures after the bloom.
