Umboya is such a 'sensible' timber, it is a hardwood but still fairly light, steady grain for structural strength, dark colours, easy to work with and smells great. This classy brush will stand proud in any establishment. For it's size it weighs a fairly light 63 grams, the height is 130 mm with a 60 mm loft. This guy is fitted with a 26 mm High mountain white knot, softer than Mother Theresa's heart I tell you! This handle was treated with a natural product, repeat as and when required, less so if you want to enjoy the fragrance of the wood.
