Natural Bristle Varnish Brush
Ships from Waynesboro, Virginia.
The brush you reach for when the finish has to look like glass. Long, soft natural bristle loads heavy with shellac, varnish, or French polish and lays it back down in one even pass — no drag, no streaks, no stray hairs in the film. It's the difference between a coat you sand back and one you leave alone.
Made in Italy, the way finishing brushes were built before synthetics: pure hog bristle hand-set in a cupro-nickel ferrule on a lacquered hardwood handle that balances in the hand. Cared for, it outlasts a drawer of throwaways — rinse it, shape it, and it's ready for the next session.
- Pure natural hog bristle — holds more finish, releases it evenly, unbothered by alcohol or solvent
- Wide, flat profile for shellac, French polish, varnish, glue size, and sizing
- At home with oils, acrylics, and decorative work
- Cupro-nickel ferrule, lacquered hardwood handle, made in Italy
- Seven widths, 20mm to 100mm
Choosing a size: The 50mm is the everyday brush for tabletops and panels. Drop to 20–30mm for spindles, edges, and detail; step up to 80–100mm for large flat surfaces.
