This handmade brush has a smaller diameter Black badger knot set at a loft of 54 mm. Jackalberry is s fairly light hardwood species that had very interesting grain patterns and colours, it turns into a beautiful light brown shaded purple when it has no coatings on it, something I like a lot in reality, it looks so natural! The combination of the orange salty resin and lighter wood works well together, I think it is going to look even sweeter over time.
The brush stands 130 mm tall, has a waist of 24 mm and a collar of 37 mm. The brush weighs 87 grams.
The theme of this brush ties in with our 'African Rainbow' range in a new way in that the bulk part of resin is replaced with coarse salt, and not just any type of salt either, one of the purest forms of salt on the planet!
We obtain the salt from www.Oryxsdesertsalt.co.za, who harvests it from the Kalahari region where the salt is a ever-replenishing, renewable source. This source was discovered beneath a 50 km2 salt pan where three underground streams converge and replenish an ancient underground salt lake of 55 million tons from which the salt water is deposited into pans under the hot Kalahari sun and sun-dried. This process lives in harmony with the natural rainfall and the surrounding environment, wisely they only extract what nature provides. Did you know there is a 90% chance you are consuming salt with plastics in it? Read this and reconsider changing to 'Oryx' for the benefit of yourself and also the environment, their online service is top notch, even before I started using their salt in brushes I bought buckets from them that lasted me years!
