'Bosveld Olyf' is the local version of the beautiful Wild Olive species of wood. It is a great wood to work with, and has an enchanting smell when turned on the lathe. The timber is very stable and will last for years to come.
Stock dependant, we normally include a small sample of balm that can be used to nourish the wood. Any wood cream will do a great job if you feel the need to give it some love in between shaves. The brush won't mind getting wet, it will not like NOT getting wet, this is when it may dry and cracks could appear, so if it is one of many brushes you own, give it some bathing time often enough.
The handle is fitted with a 24 mm Silvertip badger knot. Dimensions are 120 mm tall, a loft of 54 mm, a waist of 30 mm and a base that measures 37 mm. It weighs 80 grams.
