    But back to the topic at hand - thanks Bill. There are lots of ways to finish wood so that's one thing I can always use more info on.

    Is this a good way to finish the brush handles?

    Thats looks interesting,Is another product made By Howard for polishing woods,is called restor-a-shine,I know ace hardware carrys it.
    One is a polishing cream, Is Pumice in an oil of some sort,the other is Burnishing Cream which I believe is Rottenstone in oil.
    Both pre mixed,easy to use, cheap. Wood Polish, Wax & Furniture Restoration Products | Howard Products
