A most unusual brush acquisition

Wow, Joe! That is an incredibly large handle. The knot would be fine for me as I have a few larger knots. Good luck with the brush. 

The handle is indeed incredibly large. Even with the brushes for scale I wanted some common household items to give a good feel for the size. The water bottle does a good job at that. The knot isn't the problem in trying to use it, as I have larger knots as well, it's the sheer scale of the handle that makes it a bit of an endeavor!
