This unique and beautiful brush has a twisted driftwood handle for the North Shore of Flathead Lake. The ferrule is ceramic and it has a premium black horsehair bristle. The handle is super satiny, smooth, and has a beautiful organic natural twist. The driftwood is a natural light grey color with dark highlights.

The horsehair is very soft but still has great flex, and strong spring, and can make a wide variety of marks. The brush bristle has a traditional Sumi-e style tapered shape, and it is long, 5" in length.

The brush bristle will hold a TON of media and can make very bold and dynamic marks. The tips are uncut, natural tips.

This is a larger brush, the handle is proportionate to the brush head.

The brush has:

  • A leather hanging strap 
  • The handle is 17" in length, including the ferrule
  • The ferrule is ceramic

Bristlehead:

  • Is 5" in length 
  • The brush head has a traditional tapered shape

My brushes are made to create a vast array of marks. When I make a brush I think about all aspects of the tool: how it looks, how it feels in the hand, and how it paints - to ensure that the end product is a true "fine art tool".

Very unique handle!

This is a well crafted brush! I love that it holds a lot of media, and the marks I can make with it are quite varied. The twisted driftwood handle is beautiful to look at and has been polished to a smooth finish. It is very comfortable in the hand, and the ceramic ferrule gives the brush a good balance. It is a pleasure to use for bigger work!
