T.J.:

Excellent restores. The brush you showed us earlier with the crack came out exceptionally well. It adds "character to that old timer. Well done, my friend.

Thanks for sharing.

Excellent work, they are beautiful.

When I saw that old handle on ebay that is exactly what I thought it could look like restored! Beautiful job on both.

Thanks everyone...the Ever-Ready has the 22mm Silvertip from WhippedDog. That knot is so soft, but has some good backbone...it's still damp in those pics, but it is nicely dense as well...for the price, you can't beat it. The black badger is from TGN and it's a beast. If you had a hundred year old soap puck you want to dig into, that would be the knot.

Nice Brushes and good work.

Nice work.

It definitely makes you want to do your own. Or at least it does to me.

LOVE IT!!!

Did you put anything thing in the cracks to stabilize them? Just wondering I have one that needs something to secure the cracks I think.

Nope...none of the cracks go all the way through. Based on what I've read, bakelite and Catalin react that way when exposed to extreme temperature changes, prolonged sunlight, etc. Can you post pics? Do the cracks go all the way through?
