What's new

I did it!

Thank you very much Gentlemen :blushing:

I don't think I had taken the step without the encouragement in my question thread, but today I'm very happy I did :biggrin1:
 
I asked a question here: http://badgerandblade.com/vb/showthread.php?t=188303

and I got some much appreciated feedback and opinions.

What did the loft end up at? I'll be doing one shortly and that knot looks really nice.

Exactly what I was afraid off, although I'm not sure I agree.
But just in case I do, would you care to take it off my hands then? :001_tt2: :lol: :lol: :lol:

It ended up at 50.5 mm, which for me is the perfect height for a brush this size.
Just test lathered it, and... :001_wub: :001_wub: :001_wub:

I will :thumbup:

And fess up. Did you find yourself getting all nervous, breaking out with sweaty palms, biting your lip, etc. ?

I know I did on my most important brush. I was so careful not to mess it up.

You did a wonderful job and it's beautiful. Be proud ! :thumbup1:
 
Bravo! Makes me want to take the plunge into a restoration!
:thumbup1:

DO IT! You won't regret it. I have done 4 (2 badger, 2 boar, kept three, gave one to my brother), and #5 is with my mother-in-law (she is redesigning the handle, as the original finish was too blemished, so I sanded it down to white and she's going to be creative...I have no clue what she is going to do to it, :blink: ). It's fun and rewarding.

Yes I'm quite happy actually, so I will hold on to it :biggrin1:

I have just made a review of the Semogue Owners Club 2-band Finest, and I promoted that brush to be my favourite badger brush, it might very well be a short-lived first place for that brush.
