Freddie's restoration & custom brush thread

DanLaw thank you!

Just set the knot in this one. This one is another that had a busted ferrule. Created the hammered copper ferrule to fit which allows for a 28mm knot. Knot of choice is a 28mm synthetic silvertip.

Yeah, that copper ferrule combined w/the warm wood - mahvelus.

Thank you!

Finished up a few more. The original ferrules on the 2 were unable to be used so I did one in aluminum and the other in bass. Brass one is not for sale.

I wanted to keep the twine wrapped brush as original as possible. I removed the poly, making sure not to hurt the finish and applied a fresh coat to protect. The twine is adhered to the ferrule but I did clean it. The stains are from the original adhesive and could not be removed.  The metal underneath is sound with no rust and I coated the inside to help prevent before setting the 20mm knot.

The hammered aluminum handle will hold a 26mm knot.

Life has had me running everywhich way but lose and burning the candle on both ends as of late. Not much time for restorations and custom work as ibwould like. Slowing down a tad so able to get back to work on some handles. Just finished up these little beauties for a customer. Definitely proud of how they turned out.

The Ever-Ready 200 was a pretty simple restore and is always a pleasure to work on. Customer requested a AP Shave Co Gealousy knot for the final touch.

Next up was a Rubberset 200-4 and a new one for me in regards to a custom ferrule. Until know, all my custom ferrules have been mated to wooden handles. The knot had already been replaced with the 28mm boar shown which i saved, but unfortunately the original ferrule had a crack. Took a little tinkering but came out perfectly in the end. To add a touch of color between the white and brass and to soften the step between the two, I worked up and added a copper ring under the brass ferrule. Both the brass and copper were coated to prevent patina. Might have to do one of these for myself!

Last up was a former Rubberset 200-3. Color is a custom of my own design that I call Red Espresso. Pics simply do not do it justice! Depending on the light, it's a nice chocolaty Espresso brown but will transition to a nice crimson undertone at different angles. The copper ferrule is also coated to prevent patina and customer knot of choice is a 24mm fox knot from Shaveforge.

BEAUTIFUL as usual Freddie

Again, stunning work Freddie! Your customers, especially the one who requested #3 with the deep red and browns, have great taste. Can't wait to see your next projects.

Dave in KY mrdoug Thank you for the kind words!

That EverReady200 is exactly what I have been wanting if you can ever find one bud. Just start and let me know how much.

DanLaw that is the one I originally showed you but was not perfect. I am still on the hunt for you. Got some searches saved that notify me daily of brushes being posted.
