first brush resore..2 band

[screaming_pig]

Hi all,

Thought i would quickly show you my first brush restore.

It was my Dads old 'Kingfisher, mixed boar and badger' like a fool I never took any before shots but let me tell you it was in a sorry state!

Gave the handle a polish up on the buffing wheel and popped in a 22mm 2 band finest, with extra stuffing from TGN.

Second pic for size comparison against a Simpons Colonel.

Ready to rock and roll later on tonight

Looks fantastic, Ian! That brush handle looks just like the Vulfix Grosvenor, one of my favorites. Well done.

That is one gorgeous looking setup with the MWF bowl and a beauty of a straight. Very jealous. Nice work!

Beautiful job! I always like the stories that have family history. Again well done!

Thanks for the kind words gentlemen!! Well I've used this brush every night since her 're-birth' and must say its an absolute belter! The 2 band is def worth a look at if your thinking of doing your own restore, can't rate it enough!!

Hi Ian. The brush looks brand new! Fantastic job. I'd like to ask you where you ordered the badger hair from for this restore? Thanks.

Very well done! What kind of epoxy did you use to set the knot?
