New toy ...


Is that boar or a synthetic? Lovely handle.

Another Empire Set.  Should clean up nicely.  $10.50 and Shipping was a steal.

Boar bristle. A new kind ... maybe.

These three incredible brushes came in the mail today. The Ever-Ready is a restoration and re-knot. The finish quality is absolutely beautiful. The other two are Rubberset resto-mods. They both had cracked ferrules but Freddie Payne came up with this idea for saving brushes like this. He makes these BEAUTIFUL custom metal ferrules and refinishes the handles. He even custom blended the stain on the wood handle to get the color I wanted. He absolutely nailed the color I had in mind. I have admired Freddie's work for quite a while and am super excited to have several examples in my collection now. He was a pleasure to communicate with during the whole process of picking out the handles, ferrule materials and knots too. If you are looking for a restored or customized brush I would definitely recommend dropping him a message.

All of these are great looking. That Ever Ready is in a class all its own though.

No doubt. As soon as I saw it I wanted it. And that was before it was even restored. It has a Gelousy knot in it now.
