Custom Ram's Horn & Water Buffalo.

Here is a brush I wanted to share, that combines the work of two professionals.
Description:

The bottom cap is water buffalo horn with a pre-ban ivory inlay (3/4 in dia).
The wood body is African Blackwood.
The top cap is ram’s horn.
The knot is a TGN grade A, 24 mm.
This brush was custom made by William Barber of California (Pixelfixed).
The scrimshaw work was done by Bernadette O’Neill, “Berni”, wife of custom razor maker Robert Williams (PapaBull).

My thanks to Pixel & Berni for a fine brush.


Thank you for looking.

Very Nice John! Did you do the design work? Regardless of who did the designing, my compliments to the Craftsmen!!! :bow:

I had nothing to do with the design, that was Pixel. He suggested that scrimshaw could be done, so I came up with the idea of the buffalo, since part of the brush was buffalo. Berni did the scrimshaw work.

As I said, my hat's off to all involved in a very beautiful and functional piece of art! :chapeau

stunning piece of work there.

Great brush.. A true work of art
