Special Request Boar Knot and how much we love it

We take great pride in offering superior quality knots but we only offer Badger Knots.  But, it doesn't mean we dislike boar.  Eric used one for a really long time.  When we were contacted by a customer who wanted a boar brush I offered that we could just put the customer's favorite boar in one of our handles.

We didn't realize there would be a collar on the knot so to make sure it would work with the handle we decided it would be better to remake the handle that was a bit thicker in the collar around the knot. 

This is the first Walnut that came from a reclaimed walnut bannister we fell in love with in the reclaimed wood lot.  Our shop: http://tinyurl.com/m7nvv6k
The lighter wood is Holly which came from a residential cut down in North Carolina.
 
These walnut handles are limited edition.  They are all numbered.
 
We usually put the logo on the bottom but the customer wanted his initials there.  The customer is our main concern.  This brush came out beautifully.  We really enjoy working with our customers.  It always teaches us something or is inspirational in design.
