what kind of knot is going into the keyhole?

I'm looking forward to seeing how that one comes together.

Great restores, as per usual. :badger:

It is getting a Best from TGN.


And thank you for the kind comments. I LOVE restoring brush handles. Especially butterscotch if you couldn't tell.

Here it is polished and minus the knot. Need to paint the inside and put it in line for a knot.

That Ever-Ready is really interesting! Out of curiosity - what are you painting on the inside and what are you using to paint it?
 
I try to leave the original paint in the hole. But sometimes it doesn't work out, I haven't found a good way to do it to make it as black as the original paint. Next time I am going to try and tint the epoxy before I set the knot.
 
Here's the Culmak and the Keyholewith their knots. They aren't set yet but the Culmak has a silver tip and the Keyhole has a grade a silver tip.

Here's the next ones. I forgot to take a good before picture and this is the best one I have. It's a Kingsley- made in west Germany.

I took the lettering off because you could hardly read it anyways and I think it looks much better without it.
