My last three restores

[Redstickjohn]

Here are three that I just finished.


This is a Made Rite 1200, with a TGN 24mm Silvertip set at 55mm



This is a no name handle, but in a gorgeous tortise. It's a 22mm TGN Pure, at 56mm.



Last one is a Fuller with a 24mm TGN Black Badger, at 52mm.

Did you have to open up the handles on any of them to fit the knots? I find many of the old handles take smaller knots.

Yes, I did. I often open up the handles, because I prefer larger knots. I have a system that works quite well--I simply use my dremel with a sanding drum, take my time, and open up the holes. Then I flat sand the top of the hole and reshape it, then use wet/dry sandpaper in varying grits to get the opening to look right.

Those Fuller handles seem to be calling to me... very nice restores.

Do you ever use TGN Finest? it's a fine knot, IMHO.

I do love me some brush eye candy. Really nice work on the restores. Thanks for sharing.

I have done a few with TGN's finest, and several in fans. I have used all of the TGN knots. Honestly, I like a variety in my restores. Believe it or not, the pures are really nice, and the black badgers as well--lots of backbone and scritch. My favorites are the super soft silvertips and finest, though.

Wow that middle one is sweet looking. Nice restores.

 

[LegionPrime]

Very cool, I did that same Fuller handle only in TGN's best badger short knot. It instantly became my favorite brush. Very cool work!
