Two more done and will be heading to new homes.
The Rubberset was a pretty simple resto but the Ever-Ready definitely made me work for it. Five bubbles and chips of various sizes in the handle all had to be filled and blended. The last 2 images show the before and after of the two largest defects. Definitely happy with the finished results on both.

You have some amazing skills. Great work, as usual.

mrdoug thank you! Here's another example of one I have in the works. You can still see a little scar at the bottom but definitely improved.

Finished up a couple more. Do not have a knot yet for the Ever-Ready but should have in a week or 2. I have a nice HMW picked out for it.
The black diamond has a nice 24mn boar knot from Shaveforge and will make someone a fantastic brush. Hit me up if interested!
The Ever-Ready will stay in my den for now but was more of a challenge. There was a good size flaw in the ferrule but I feel I have it looking pretty good. Still a slight scar at the base of the ferrule but definitely an improvement.

Thank you my friend. Largest flaw I've had to fix a d wasn't sure I could. Turned out better than I hoped.

Botox not plastic surgery, but same result!

Lol! My favorite with him is The Santa Clause. It's right there with A Christmas Story every year.
