Antique Store Score Quick Restore
Hello Gents!
Found this pewter brush at an antique store and threw it together very fast.
Fun little project. Feels good to find something at an antique store as they are so often stripped bare anymore.
16mm Finest that Ive had waiting for a handle for a while was the only thing that would fit. Would have set it a tad deeper but the walls of the handle are thin and I didnt want to chance boring it out.
Thanks for looking!“You must unlearn what you have learned.”

That's a beautiful pewter handle. It's always great to revive and old treasure. The knot looks amazingly full for 16mm.
Congratulations and enjoy!

That's a beauty
....I would be agonizing over whether to polish it or leave it as is.

Lol man that's been nagging at me! I thought about a semi-shined up look... taking some 2000 grit wet dry paper to it, avoiding the crevices... so to allow it a vintage look along with the look its been constantly used.. Originally Posted by bongo

But once it's been done..
