Here are the other restores:







And here are my shop-made ones.

This is the first one made with a table saw and a sander. The finish is two ton epoxy painted on thick. It's like glass. I like this finish.



Here are some drill press turned pieces:

I like the last 2 best, but all of them are nice.

All great stuff guys,thx for showing them.
I like to blend the Acrylesters with natural materials.

That is awesome. I have not been brave enough to try it, but will at some point.

I have created three brushes in Dymondwood material.

First one is in Heritage Walnut Dymndwood and TGN two band Finest.

Brush Dimensions (approximate):

Total height: 96mm
Handle: 46mm
Loft: 50mm
Knot: 26mm bulb shape

Second one is in French Green Dymndowood and TGN two band finest fan shaped knot.

Brush Dimensions (approximate):

Total height: 109mm
Handle: 61mm
Loft: 48mm
Knot: 27mm Fan shape

The third brush is in Royal Jacaranda with a TGN synthetic knot.

Brush Dimensions (approximate):

Total height: 110mm
Handle: 59mm
Loft: 51mm
Knot: 25mm







Hope you enjoy them!

Very nice.

I have created two handles by special request and set one of them with a TGN HMW knot. Unfortunately I did not have a chance to take measurements of the brush and/or handles, but they are about 60mm tall with a 25mm knot opening. In the pictures the knot is dry fitted into both handles, but the one that got the knot in the end is the darker handle in Royal Jacaranda Dymondwood. The other handle is in Dakota Dymondwood
