BOTH BRUSHES SOLD As new brushes come in, these 2 must go. Thanks for looking and have a great Memorial Day weekend. Jayaruh G1- made by Jim on this forum. Handle is Wenge wood. I do not know the manufacturer of the badger knot. I can give a description though . Knot is 26mm and has medium backbone with soft tips. No scritch here. It has softer tips than my TGN Finest. Handle Disclaimer**** For those who do not know, Jim makes his handles without a lathe. It is not perfectly round like other artisan handles that use a lathe. It is very nice and the fact that its done without a lathe is very impressive. Also, I finished the handle with Tru-oil and wood stock wax. I DID NOT use polyurethane. That is the method I use to waterproof my rifle stocks. I am also not a wood artisan and can not guarantee this handle will last you for years to come. The water does bead off immediately off the handle. I soak the brush knot only by placing it in a mug with water not reaching the handle. But I do this with all of my brushes. $35 shipped CONUS Vintage Blades Finest- 25mm knot in faux horn handle- retails for $40 plus shipping $30 shipped CONUS Shipping will be on Tuesday after Memorial Day.
