You can use 5 minute epoxy to glue the knot in. Don't use too much or it will come out and make a mess. To restore a vintage brush, you remove the old knot (I usually use my drill press for that) and do what needs to be done to the handle to look good and accept a new knot. Then glue the new knot in. It's a general question and a general answer, there are many details that may need attention. Every restore is unique.

I have created a new boar Brush. This one is made with Omega Pro 48 knot and Ziricote wood turned on my lathe. I bought a brand new Omega 48 brush, extracted the knot and set it into my own wood handle. I also lowered the loft slightly. I have done this type of thing before with Pro 49 brush and it came out great. This one also came out amazingly well. This particular knot had quite a bit of flagging (split ends) out of the box. After my initial shampooing and test lathering it looks more than halfway broken in as far as flagging. I really love how this one came out. Some boar enthusiast will really enjoy it.

Brush Dimensions (approximate):

Total height: 124mm
Handle: 63mm
Loft: 61mm
Knot: 29mm

Another brush is available in my Etsy store. This one is set in a handle made from Dakota Dymondwood. I decided to not make this one super-shiny. This one features Whipped Dog High Mountain badger knot. It appears to be very similar to TGN finest in all respects.

Brush Dimensions (approximate):

Total height: 105mm
Handle: 55mm
Loft: 50mm
Knot: 27mm bulb shape

I have just finished another Dymondwood handled brush. This one got a shiny CA treatment. The knot is TGN two band finest. After an initial washing the tips are starting to curl up into gel-tips.

Brush Dimensions (approximate):

Total height: 95mm
Handle: 46mm
Loft: 49mm
Knot: 25mm bulb shape

I have received two custom orders from two unrelated parties for a Chubby-like brush with two band finest.  One was to be a Chubby 1 caliber and the other Chubby 3. I have made the smaller brush using African Ironwood and the larger one using Resin Burl.

Here is the smaller one:

Total height: 90mm
Loft height: 48mm
Handle height: 42mm
Knot: 27mm bulb shape










Here is the larger one

Total height: 101mm
Loft height: 52mm
Handle height: 49mm
Knot: 30mm+ bulb shape









And both together



I hope the new owners enjoy these. I really like them.

I have created five new brushes. One by custom order and four for my Etsy store.

The custom order was for a boar brush. I decided to use a knot from an Omega 10065 brush. I really like this Omega boar knot a lot.

The approximate dimensions came out to:

Total height: 107mm
Loft height: 56mm
Handle height: 51mm
Knot: 24mm












Next is a brush in Tortoise Dymondwood. This one came out really good. I tried a slight variation on the classic shape and made the top concave.

Brush Dimensions (approximate):

Total height: 101mm
Handle: 53mm
Loft: 48mm
Knot: 26mm bulb shape













Next is another Dymondwood handle. This time in Keyhole shape and French Green pattern.

Brush Dimensions (approximate):

Total height: 107mm
Handle: 56mm
Loft: 51mm
Knot: 25mm bulb shape












Next is an Ever-Ready 200T inspired shape in walnut.

Brush Dimensions (approximate):

Total height: 104mm
Handle: 55mm
Loft: 49mm
Knot: 26mm bulb shape













Last, but not least, a brush with a handle made out of Mopani exotic wood.

Brush Dimensions (approximate):

Total height: 100mm
Handle: 52mm
Loft: 48mm
Knot: 27mm bulb shape

I have created another boar brush. This one uses a knot from Omega 10065. I love these Omega blond boar brushes, but the handles on them are not so exciting. They are hollow ABS plastic and feel cheap (which they are). I hope some of the boar aficionados will appreciate this brush. I absolutely love it.

Brush Dimensions (approximate):

Total height: 98mm
Handle: 50mm
Loft: 48mm
Knot: 24mm

I have created a brush as a thank you for a friend. I used a "Black and Gold" polyester resin and a TGN two band finest fan.

Approximate dimensions:

Total height: 99mm
Handle height: 52mm
Loft height: 47mm
Knot: 25mm












This is really gorgeous resin. Love the way it came out.
