Horsehair Brush – Bamboo Handle with Grid Fire Pattern

Handcrafted brush for Sumi-ink, watercolor, and fluid media

This one-of-a-kind brush features a hand-burned grid pattern on a naturally fire-cured bamboo handle. The bamboo releases resin when heated, creating a smooth, semi-gloss finish—no sealant applied. The premium white horsehair bristles are uncut, leaving the tips naturally tapered for expressive, responsive mark-making.

The brush has a rounded, slightly curved handle, a comfortable grip, and a leather hanging strap at the base—a jade-inlaid pin has been added for aesthetic purposes.
