I took delivery of a new custom made brush this week and thought that some may like to see it.
Firstly, I should say that I have had the raw material in my possession for over twenty years before the light in my head came on late last year.
Here it is :
The brush was made for me by Bill Jack ( Le Tuft ) here in the UK, and a superb job he did too.
The raw material was a Minkie Whale tooth. Hence my " Toothbrush "
The knot is a 24mm Two Band Finest, with extra hair,from TGN, I believe.
The natural material has a feel to it that cannot be duplicated by synthetic products, IMO.
I was always under the impression that Minke Whale fed on squid, but this beauty just eats MWF !
It is a superb brush to use and the craftsmanship from " Le Tuft " is excellent.
