    My first custom brush was made by PC Woodcraft - a beautiful 24mm Silvertip with Bocote wood handle




    Then I ordered this stunning Malachite Handled 24mm Silvertip from Elite Shaving - it's perfect for face lathering

    I just had this custom brush completed for me by Bill Stammetti.

    I noticed Bill’s work and became very interested in it. Some of his work uses distressed wood. As I was interested only with the use of wood, and wanted something different, we made a connection.

    The wood used here is from a pecan tree that had fallen due to wood borers. Remnants of the pests’ handy work are the dark tunnels on the base of the stand. Additionally, I requested that the brush handle be made to maintain some evidence of the deterioration; reflected on the base of the brush. Because of this, the brush cannot stand upright and the stand became necessary.

    The knot is 24mm Silvertip badger with a shorter loft.

    I understand this look may not be for everyone, but I am so very pleased with the outcome.

    There is a brass pin from the stag horn into a hole in the handle.

    Not quite as fancy as the others. I was trying to match the finish on my Gibson 61 SG. Apparently, A very hard finish to duplicate. Gibson keeps that info closely guarded, believe it or not. Thanks to deighaingeal
