My butterscotch restore

[ambrose]

It won't be much scrubbier from what I've heard. This is the best all around Golden Nib knot for someone who wants soft but not floppy

I would have to agree, also what scuttle is that fidjit ?

That's a "prototype" scuttle made down here by a local potter

The price of shipping scuttles from overseas to Australia put them out of consideration for me , so given that Tasmania is well known for it's arts and crafts I contacted a local potter

He and I worked on this one and hopefully soon he'll be offering them in the Asia/Pacific region ( at least ) at a reasonable cost. He's currently fine tuning it and working on what glazes he'll offer.....

Pretty funny, I'd talked to him over the phone and via email working on it, and the first time I went down to his studio I had a razor to PIF him. Trouble is he runs a full beard !

That being said he's really into this project. He did mention he had some of his grandfathers old straights though

More piccies here ( though the final ones will be one piece )

great looking brush, mate

Nice result. You won't regret using the Golden Nib knot at all. It's a steal for the price and a super performer.
PS I hope your mate sells scuttles direct - I will be down inTassie in November and I couldn't think of a better souvenir

Beautiful work and I imagine the brush works to create a great lather.

A really nicely proportioned brush by the OP + I like the finest from GN alot.

Looks great. I love the finest knot from the nib that Mike set in an old Ever Ready handle for me.
