Here is my first attempt at restoring and rescaling and making a brush. Need to re-do the finish on the scales but have been enjoying using them each morning. The wood is Cocobolo. The blade is a Joseph Allen Non XLL with all pits and scratches sanded and buffed out. The knot is a UK Badger 21mm from Golden Nib.

Very nice. Love the matched brush and scales. Beautiful work.
Do you have any before or during pics?
Great! What did you do or use for pin's on the scales?
Very nice! :tu :tu Enter this in the restore contest!
Didn't think to take pictures before I started....Will do that on the next one.Quote:
