G'day, gents. I'm working on another restoration project and I'm looking for suggestions on the best finish for a vintage wooden-handled brush.
Here's what I started with:
I've removed the old knot and sanded down the wooden handle to bare wood. I'd like to stain the wood a medium-brown (the grain is gorgeous and I want to keep that visible) and then apply some kind of permanent, waterproof finish. What would be the best product/technique to use? I was thinking of maybe a clear polyurethane, but I'm open to suggestions.
