I really like both of those and love that you kept the patina

Oddly enough I was at a flea market today and one of the vendors had the exact pepper shaker which brought a chuckle. I would not have even noticed it had it not been for your post....
I know that I am heading for the junk store. Great idea.
Outstanding! Inspires me to look around the house for something similar which can be used as a brush handle.)

I use the synthetic for traveling and the badger has become my favorite brush.
What do you guys think? Should I stop messing around and get me an artisans brush?
Any more to show off?
BTW, what did you fill the handles with?
Nice work. Thanks!
Cool looking, except for no boar
Neat Idea!

Great idea on repurposing something for shaving use.
Very cool.
Jimmy Buffett would be impressed.
New game. Spot the potential brush handle in random every day objects. Bonus points for actually making them into brushes. I still want to see that pepper shaker converted for a full set.
