good looking brush...but your backgrounds are too "distracting" for the brush (IMHO)
the driftwood background looks best to me

nice lookin brush.what did you set the loft at?,and what is the knot diameter?

I can understand the background being a bit distracting. For me it is just easier walking out the front door and snapping a picture than setting up a light tent and such. I eventually get around to that.
The knot diameter is 3/4. I fit the knot to the hole with a special ground scraper for a nice fit.
Loft?-- I just installed the knot as it came so I'll have to research the term *g*

Loft is the height of the hair from the tips to top of the handle.Example:45mm 50mm 55m.Setting the loft at different heights makes the brush behave in different ways.

Looks great. Picture #3 with the driftwood looks best to me but imo all work ok.

Thanks for clearing up my ignorance.
The loft on this knot is 58-60 mm. The knot diameter is 20mm.
I found a 3/4 drill bit worked well so i could get a snug fit by using the tool in the attached pictures. It is very much like a relief tool used in hand chasing internal threads.

Nice setup,tool looks handy.Do you use shaving brushes?I do.I have using them for years.For all around performance of that size and grade of knot I suggest you set the loft between46-48mm.Not that you asked, I just felt like trying to be helpfull

I appreciate the information. I am doing a web search now to learn more about shaving brush anatomy. Thanks for making me curious.

LOVE IT!
.....and i like the driftwood background personally, even though i would typically say they are distracting, for some reason the picture on the far left looks really good with it!

Stunning piece! It really stood out from the background because of the vivid yellow color. Great turning!
