I like those. The ferrule is stronger and I can fit the knot tighter without fear of splitting.

That will clean up rather nicely. Can't wait to see the grain. Kinda looks tight and evenly spaced. Makes for interesting teardrop shapes in the grain face you can point up to logo. ;)

I like the shape. I've done one with a hardwood ferrule that worked out great. Maple with oak ferrule.

Is the dark part a separate ferrule or is it all one piece of wood?

I work on things in waves and binges.

So now I'm finally getting back to the Certifyd #4 & #6 wood handles. Have been building up the coats of polyurethane. Last coat dried wonky on ends so...

Here's mine refurbished and knotted HMW - 20mm x 50mm. Nice little brush.

Hmmm after posting I see there is a difference.

The finish is removed and they are ready for sanding. Might be maple can't tell yet. The #6 is 30mm with a handle bigger than all my others. I couldn't get the ferrel off the #4.

Yes, rag was black from lots of polishing. The oak wood is polish so the stain only goes into the pores and not in the grain. The highly polished surface is what gets the Chatoyancy to pop.

Late as usual in updating. Har! ;)

Ended up with a drip I had to cure solid before sanding off.

Finish is complete and ready to knot.

My photos don't come close in displaying the...

Sanding is done. Like so many things here I used a progression from 150, 320, 600, 1000, 1500, 2000, 3000, 5000 and finally leather. A little over kill for sure but I enjoy watching the...

My pleasure fellow fan. ;)

I think it is still over looked. I've had great luck recently finding 3 to 10 dollar brushes. It's way too easy to accumulate but not a major loss if things don't...

That's it. Thank you JeffR.

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...

For those collars that do not want to come off the handle, stripping the finishes off with out damaging the collar has been a challenge. Using paint tape and Citristrip has solved this process. ...

WOW! Beautiful.

That's the kind of wood I'd like to see turned and match old OEM shape and refit old OEM wooden handles with but that's down the road away$ for me. Also the acrylics with exotic...

This is an assumption I made after dumping dozens or photos of completed brushes with out much how to/did content.

The notice did not apply to my thread. Sorry for the confusion. ;)

To add some more detail to the trails & tribulations & joys. Here are some random thoughts I put down while I was working this last winter. Just never got them posted. Hope it is not TLtR. ;) ...

After the recent Mod posting I am feeling uncomfortable with my brush post and how it might appear to some.

When I started SR shaving a couple years ago I decided to find a hobby in it. I...

Woh! that brush ROCKS. Like it and thanks. ;)

WOW! Nice collection. Love the metal collared orange looking one with the ornate button on end of handle.

That's what mine looked like. It will come back nicely though, it looks good no checks or dings.

I didn't think keep before pictures. I will with the next batch. Here's the horn collar brush. It was in good shape compared to others. Had no idea it was horn till started cleaning.
