Hardekool is a great wood in that it's grain allows for beaultiful smooth finishing, but just as easily supports texturing and carving, it is a very dense, hard wood and has become part and parcel of the image that pops into our heads the second someone says 'bushveld' This chap is of medium size, but quite 'sturdy' in stature and weight. It is fitted with a 21 mm Super badger knot. Dimensions are 107 mm tall, a loft of 55 mm, and a handle of 39 mm at its widest, and 34 mm at the most narrow diameters. The brush weighs 82 grams.
If you are a Saffer we could call this a 'heritage handle'! Maybe an idea for a range of brushes...
