This brush features driftwood from the North Shore of Flathead Lake and premium white horsehair. The driftwood retains the natural bark with a dark black and red tint. The handle is polished for a smooth texture. Crafting the ferrule requires soaking birch bark for weeks, which is then formed around the bamboo for a near-perfect fit. The white horsehair bristle offers great flex, strong spring, and varied marks with a slight taper and pointed tips.

The brush has:

  • A leather hanging strap and wormwood bead
  • The ferrule is natural birch and bamboo.

Traditional Sumi-e style tapered bristle head:

  • The white horsehair is 4" in length and has a tapered shape
  • The driftwood handle (including the birch ferrule) is 12" in length

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".
