I have so often said "A thing of beauty is a joy forever", the poet could be excused for climbing out of his nearly-unmarked grave in Rome and whacking me over the head with it. It's apposite enough here, though. My latest TroyCraft brush, "Vazon Forest" (Forêt de Vazon) has been 5 months in creation, the subject of 59 PMs and 37 emails back and forth, mostly while we waited for the burls to hatch.

The story behind the name is that off the West coast of the distant island whence I come, there are the remains of a forest claimed by the sea thousands of years ago. My dad and I used to dive around there looking for bass when I was a kid. Dad sadly passed away last June, and I think of this brush as a tribute to a man I miss every day.

You are most welcome @Gargravarr . So glad to see it arrived safe and sound. I only wish I could take photos as good as these, they are magnificent! Especially the one where the background is focused inside the handle, looks magical!

It is slightly trippy to behold the printed razor head of the Era as on the surface it looks like any other 3d printed plastic item but has the weight and feel of metal. However, there is no beating CNC machining when done well.

The Dart in hand is a thing of beauty. Shane also kindly accommodated my request for the number edition of my birth year.
