I did a few restorations the other day and I think they came out quite good, or? The new knots are a two-band finest (left) and the two others are Silvertip Grade A, all from TGN.

Sweet!
I really love that cream/ivory look.

Good job and very nice. Just ordered a couple knots last night.
Excellent work!
Fantastic!
I love the shape of that first one. Nice work!
I'm curious about something Herr Master Brushmeister Vey. What do you enjoy more, restoring vintage handles or making your own from scratch?
Those are lovely, btw. I had the exact same brush handle on the far left in the second photo that I'd cleaned up and was going to put a knot in, but ended up selling it with some other knot ready brushes on the BST. I see that pic and now my morning coffee is flavored with a little regret.

Very nice work! I love the TGN Grade A knots!
i have several of the ever ready black and creams. yours look great as i would expect them too. i did one of mine with a black badger and it looks pretty cool with the black handle
They look like they just came out of the box. I like your work.
All three are looking good. Nice job.

I like to make new brushes better. But the only reason is that some old brushes are really nasty to work with. In some cases, I wear a dust mask, and I always wear latex gloves until I have the knot removed and the initial cleaning done. Another problem is that sometimes I run into issues with thin walls that can crumble after the knot is removed. It is often a risk involved and i always let my customer know this.
