very nice...................

That bottom is came out freaking awesome! I don’t know why but out of all the repairs you’ve done this one impressed me quite a bit. It looks factory made that way.

Thank you for your kind words.

Well I finished the Erskine ...



I decided on the 22mm Maggard's synthetic knot that fit nicely with only a small amount of sanding inside it's receiver. I re-lettered it in yellow by the advice of SWMBO.

And as always ... more to come!

I got this very messed up brush in an order last week and decided to give it a little TLC.


I found a flare nut that fit the bill.


After a good soaking in Teak oil and setting an 18mm synthetic knot ... it looks much nicer.


And as always ... more to come!

That's using the ol' noodle. Well done!

Thank you, I hate to see a nice handle go to waste.

Looks great!

I come to realize the brush was a Barbershop shaving brush.

I hate the original tops on those, looks like an old chair foot!

Great way to improvise. I really like the look it gave the brush as well. Very nicely done.

I just looked back at the post when you showed the brush before restoration. Wow that turned out great!

Thank you; I have a tendency to be drawn to the sadder cases ... more of a challenge.

That Erskine looked like it was definitely a challenge.

I normally wouldn't have bothered with it if it looked as original. I alway thought they had the personality of a chair leg or door knob. It gave me a challenge and now it's on it way to a new home and not in a landfill.

To be quite honest, I wasn't sure if it would self destruct when I was leveling the bottom or if the copper bottom would work out. That is why I took the steps I did.

You do a great job Enrico! You are very talented. Do you mind if I ask what you do with all of the brushes you restore?
