Original post: The Haul: December 2022 An update: Used Dremel to clear out the insides. Added weight to handle with spare nuts. Used sandpaper to buff out scratches on exterior. Manually applied Maas polish. Seated inexpensive 20 mm badger knots from DS Cosmetics. I would have used silicone, but unavailable locally, and I was too impatient to order online. I used JB Weld for filler, and as knot holder. A little bit oozed out, but I am OK with that for my first attempt. I will let the epoxy cure for a few days before using.
Nice! I like that Ever-Ready shape -- I have one like it, but the top is black rather than blue. It's one of my favorites.
Last week I ran across some brushes in an antique store . The brushes in good shape were priced way too high. The ones in mediocre shape were just priced high. So I passed . Been thinking about getting one to redo one day. No hurry though. I like reading these threads ,they give me ideas.
Yes, the shape is so comfortable in the hand. Adding some weight to the hollow handle goes a long way to give balance and a nice feel. Can't wait to use it!
