White Sable Brushes by Robert Simmons Short Handled Synthetic Hair Brushes White Sable brushes are made with seamless nickel plated brass ferrules and lacquer dipped hard wood handles of beech wood from the forests of Maine. The wood is kiln dried and then protected with five coats of lacquer. The synthetic hair mix begins with white round formed filaments that are extruded to different thicknesses. The varying thicknesses are then blended to form each individual brush. The result is a brush with excellent spring a razor sharp point and flexible point. The end result is a paint brush with all of the benefits of red sable at a fraction of the cost! White Sable brushes will work with watercolor oil and acrylic painting.
