Amazing!
Some of the handles were hollow once the old knot was removed requiring me to build a platform in the handles that would allow a place for the new knots to rest and be remain should the knot be removed for another. The multicolor handle was coated in a polymer in and out to prevent further cracking, making it solid and good as new. Big thank you to CMC Grooming Products for giving me the opportunity. I hope you enjoy your brushes!
Beautiful work Freddiep318ti

Cleaned up this one a while back for myself but put getting the knot on the back burner. Wasn't sure how it was going to look but was pleasantly surprised to see the butterscotch swirl under the years of funk. Pics don't truly show it and do it justice. Finally got around to getting a knot in and set today. Got to let it dry then can't wait to give it a run.
