Hello all, I recently scooped up this vintage brush. It’s a 2 piece metal and wood. I got the knot out and the nasty smelling adhesive. It came with a boar hair knot. The top metal part appears to be brass or copper? Seems to be in pretty good condition. It threads smoothly. I plan on restoring it by sanding and staining the wood. Not sure what I’ll do with the top cap yet. I’ll see about getting a knot after restoring from AP Shave Co. Any tips on “waterproofing” the wood and protecting the top from potential corrosion?
