I feel the same way about mine. However, I'm always amazed at the stuff I do find when I do a bit of cleaning.
Personally, I don't mind dealing with plastic. I've done a couple of brushes in inlace, and liked the way they turned out.

Much agreed. But the color combinations and shiny its hard not to stare. I feel like a little kid with shiny objects and tinsle. Not of real substance but pretty to look at. Reminds me of a Botoxed siliconed girl I once dated, nice to look at hard to live with.

Plastic can make some nice brushes as you have shown. Natural materials have their own charms and beauties-and can be less expensive at times.
I think it's more who's doing the work rather than the material-also as you have shown.

Trust me, Exotic woods are far more expensive and harder to find than any plastic.
In reality plastics are probebly a better choice than woods in a wet environment,But if the brush is properly soaked and maintained they will serve you well for a very long time,wood handled brushes have been around for a hundred yrs or more.

I know the exotics can certainly be expensive and hard to find. One can, however, find some nice stuff on the cheap.
