Nice project! I’m just now reading the post so sorry about asking about the knot size earlier. I’ve only used the sgrdddy method (heat/steam) to remove a knot. I’m not sure it will work with larger diameters though.

Thanks! I love how it turned out. Super enjoyable brush.
I didn’t try the steam method because I was worried about damaging the handle. I think it’s also some kind of epoxy, so I wasn’t sure the glue would soften more than the handle😅
And I had no reason to try to keep the knot alive, so trying the mill route seemed like the smaller risk

I doubt that the steam method will work with knots set in epoxy but I have never tried it.

I’ve had the same reaction, but several discord members swear that the epoxy softenes significantly when steamed.
Significantly, the group includes Rob from Chisel and Hound who knows better than me 😅

Well, that’s good to know. He’s certainly an expert.
