Thread: A better handle

Sometimes it's the little things. I have a Kent VS80 boar brush, $8 at CVS; my first brush. This was what it looked like new:
Kent Brushes - The World's Finest Brushes - Est 1777 - VS80

By now the surface was dried out, slightly cracked, and embedded with soap scum. The brush still feels great, but I was tired of looking at it next to my silver-handled silvertip. So, I took a few minutes to sand and refinish the handle, using a walnut stain I had leftover from some other project.

Here is the brush now:


Nothing that would bring the crowd to its feet, but I'm happier reaching for it than I was before. It's the least I can do for an $8 brush that's hung in there for over six years of use!

It gave you 6 years of service, so you did a nice thing for it,,,it looks great & will serve on.

A Veteran brush !

Great job, I like what u did a lot.
