Ok, so badger is said to be the best brush there. I have seen badger brushes, synthetic, boar, and horse. This all got me to wondering, could you use bear fur seeing as badger is part of the bear family? Or what other animals have you heard of being uesed fro brushes (sorry for any spelling errors, on my phone)
i havent heard of anything myself , but i have often asked myself the same question ...lol..
Considering how many years brushes have been in use I suspect every critter out there has been tried at one time or another. It's not like doing so requires some engineering or scientific advancement.
Wooly mammoth would be fun!
I have one,sort of scritchy.Quote:

:hmmm: Maybe that wouldn't be a great idea after all, isn't Wolverine fur Waterproof and Frostproof ?????
Frostproof
It's funny you mentioned that Glen, I was just thinking the other day (for unknown reason) about a wolverine hair brush. That would be nifty :)Quote:

No clue about wolverines though I haven't felt enough fur from those to really get a good idea. Got alot of opossums around me though, but not sure how that fur feels since those are usually disease ridden and I don't pet them that often.
I asked him, he said I can have bags of hair but I have to sort it myself....Quote:

Anyone ever tried human hair? Probably too soft.
A brush out of human hair would scare me!Quote:

Doing a little research turns out they are pine martins (sable),back in thebone box they go:)Quote:

What you want are some walrus hair bristles. The ones they use to scrape the bottom. True shaving nirvana. The boat leaves next month for the expedition. Anyone want to go?
While you're at it, you mkght as well grab some oosik for some custom scales. ;)Quote:

LMFAO that was good stuff i cant believe they did that. heck you can tell no one had a back ground of dealing with the explosive because they would have been able to tell you what would happen.
