Just finished up this wood handle 480. This one was more of a challenge for me due to being unable to remove the ferrule without damaging. Not being able meant I was unable to smooth out and clean up the wood at the base of the ferrule like I would have preferred but in the end I think it still came out looking pretty good.

Originally had a boar knot so plan to replace with same.

This looks very fine, well done!! There is something very classy about these vintage brushes and it is nice to see them restored. Did you go for a glossy black? or is my monitor not showing it correctly?!

Thanks! It's a glossy black. I've done them in mate and semi gloss and it s not as nice a look IMO.
