AUCTION DESCRIPTION
The very last one, no more of these to ever be made.
Handle in hand poured resin (2-tone green and plus clear with mica) and turned by @Tony Forsyth.

This was an additional brush which was produced but not spoken for. Carefully stored by @Monsta_AU for the past 2 years, this is unused and should be considered 'NOS' now.

Monsta's Comments: This has been the brush to stop me looking at brushes. This has been my daily driver for the past 2 years with the occasional use of the Platypus, or my travel brush when on the road. Not a lather hog like some high-diameter knots, this does have excellent flow and backbone while the tips are super-soft. It is a very large brush once bloomed and it definitely took some getting used to. No issues with the knot has ever been reported to me from the original participants of the group buy, and I have only had the bare minimum of shedding occur. This is a part of the history of our little forum and I have always been proud of what was achieved through its production. Nobody was ever disappointed with what they got, in fact I have been asked to not only add this in but to look to create yet another brush in the near future.
