It is the end of 2021 and I just wanted to post a few photos and give a quick production update. I hope everyone is enjoying their New Year’s celebrations. I am on my way to some festivities, however, I’ll be back in the shop on the 2nd and will follow up with everyone via email this coming week.

S.F.F. Auction

The S.F.F. Auction was a big success and I’m so glad I could end the year on this type of note. To be able to pass along these contributions to our troops is truly a privilege and I am so grateful once again. Over $2,700 raised!

Special Releases

I have a couple of brushes that I’m offering to those on the waiting list for customs and those who have purchased a custom since the beginning of 2020. These are experimental pieces, one-offs for sure but it’s possible I will make them again. Offered are:

Gaslamp 29mm - Two-piece, Midnight Blue Pearl and Ivory Clay, polished/matte

Ranger Tall Spec. - Three-piece, Cement dark and light variants, BLK / WHT Marble ring, polished

I will be sending an email out tomorrow with purchase details. There is only one of each, knots will be tied to order at the purchaser’s chosen spec., and engraving color will be to order as well.

Production updates

May/June - Nearly completed. I’ll be shipping the last 3 brushes shortly.

July-Sept - In the final stages of finishing, engraving will be done this week as well as knots. Shipping will start next week possibly.

Oct-Nov - Brushes are being rough turned. I am estimating to start shipping in mid-January and continuing to ship out through the end of January perhaps into February.

Not all brushes are pictured, due to time constraints right now, but as I mentioned I will have individual updates next week via email.

I’ll have another blog post in about two weeks with more developments. For now, enjoy the photos everyone. Thanks so much for a great year.
