    Default Show Your Custom Brushes!

    I don't know if there is a thread like this already.. but here we go! I received a brush from Mastershake several months ago from a trade we did, it has to be one of the best brushes I have ever used! I have a $100 Caswell-Massey silver tip and it doesn't even come close to my custom brush. So, in celebration to the awesomeness of my everyday brush... Show of your favorite custom brush! Mine has a stand with my school the University of Houston.. pretty sweet I know ;D Lets see what you gentleman have!
    attached is a picture of the brush with its stand and a picture with it compared to my Caswell-Massey brush.

    I don't know if these are customs per se, because they are not unique, but they aren't mass-produced, either.

    Bryce C Ironwood


    King1976 Bocote handle set with a TGN Black Badger (though I'm replacing that knot with a finest as soon as it arrives).

    Those are beautiful. I'm interested. Can you give me some more info on prices and choices. I love the bull horn and exotic wood! I'm a noob to this site, so I don't know if e-mailing me would be better, but my e-mail is [email protected]
    Thanks,
    Mike

    You can just PM him, just so you don't put your private info out there like that.

    Default deer horn stand and brush

    I made this stand and brush because I had some extra antler left over after making a set of scales and brush for a fellow forum member.
