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.
