Just finished up this little beauty today. She fought me tooth and nail and if something could go wrong, it did. Everything from equipment failure to flawed copper, it happened, lol. I'm never one to give up so l pushed through and got it done.

The customer stated they were partial to Ford Calypso Green Metallic (my phone makes it look bluish) and wanted something close. I said why not the real thing! I reached out to a buddy and got a couple ounces. I wet sanded between coats to ensure a smooth, glass like finish before adding 2 coats of clear. Handle is topped with a brushed copper ferrule and crowned with a 24mm badger boar mix from AP shave. Pics do not do it justice!

A big thank you to its owner for entrusting me to bring his vision to life. It was a pleasure and I hope you enjoy it!

Well and truly! Admire your abilities and confess envy of such skill

Wow that is stunning.

Great job, Freddie. 

wyze0ne celestino thank you!

Just finished up this little Ever-Ready 100 for a customer. Brush belonged to their grandfather and will be a gift to their uncle. Something about the family heirlooms just have a special place in my heart. They opted to not have the larger dents and dings filled to help keep it as they remember. I opened it to 22mm per request and they opted for synthetic from Maggards. Glad to see this one staying in the family and can be used for more years to come!
