White Deer Tail Brush

Flathead Driftwood Handle • Bamboo Ferrule • One of a Kind

This one-of-a-kind white deer tail brush is built from natural materials gathered and shaped over time.

The handle is driftwood sourced from the Flathead, preserved in its organic form. The subtle curves and markings in the wood guide how the brush sits in the hand. It is lightly finished to stabilize the surface while maintaining its natural character.

The ferrule is bamboo, flame-treated for durability. The warmth of the bamboo contrasts with the weathered driftwood and anchors the hair securely.

The bristle is white deer tail with natural taper and variation. Deer tail has a distinct structure — it carries fluid media well, with its soft and flexible bristle head. It produces expressive strokes with subtle separation in the hair, allowing both atmospheric passages and broken, organic marks.

A hanging cord is attached for studio storage.
