Sold early this morning. Question: Should I make another?
Occasionally, I like to really push the envelope just to see how far it will stretch.
That was the case with this 22mm Adams. It's the result of a skill-building project I recently undertook after finishing a batch of special orders. The objective was to create a main handle body in Porcelain resin fitted with a Tortoiseshell collar. Then to fit a Tortoiseshell ring at the base with another, very thin (~1mm thick) piece of Porcelain resin at the very bottom. After polishing to a gem-like finish, this unique brush was then imprinted with our logo and provenance, and filled with our 2-band 1704B2F Silvertip Badger.
On a personal note, forming seamless joints on 28-30mm brushes by hand is challenging enough; but doing it on a small 22-24mm handle is challenging in the extreme. It's going to be tough to see this little guy go.
You can see this redoubtable Adams, along with others, in our
ReadyMade Collection
Enjoy!
