Thread: Wood handled shave brushes

Here's some examples of the wood grain thing I'm into. This is a 1978 Chicago PSP brush. They start out with a dark stain that hides the grain. After 'stripping' the dark finish off and lots of sanding and then lots of polyurethane you can see the depth of the grain. There's a word for this depth but for the love of 'Mike' (MB, help please ) I can not remember what he called it or find it. Aarrgh!

Original look ugh!


Close ups of woody!!








With Chicago mug


I'm still working on re-painting the logo on this brush. The Chicago logo is gold and stamped very shallow in the ferrule and just wipes off. Need to go to the art store and look for a different medium besides a paint stick.
