A lozenge shaped vegetable brush, handmade from birch sewn with 'union blend', a mix of tampico from Mexico, and palmyra fibre from the same Indian palms as sago.

About 12.5cm long and 4.5cm wide.

Care Advice

Keep dry when not in use. In the case of wet-use brushes, please shake any excess moisture from the bristles, and dry hanging up or on a surface with the bristles facing down. Clean brushes only when necessary with a little dish soap and hot water, making sure to dry thoroughly. Condition the wooden surface every now and then with a beeswax furniture polish, or mineral oil, to prevent cracks or splitting.
