    Before:
    Nice little butterscotch with a floppy old badger knot with the new TGN 2 band knot
    [​IMG]

    After:
    I had to bore out the handle to 21mm to get the TGN knot seated properly. Turned out to be a fun restore. This little guy is going to make a great face latherer.

    What do you use to boar your handles out with? I have a couple I would like to widen.
