From the Legends Series this brush is made with a kiln-dried, double-lacquered, curved-back hardwood brush block with oiled Palmyra fibers. The brush head is about 8" long and the shape lends itself to easy handling. The stiff, Palmyra bristles are derived from the Palmyra Palm. These fibers are about 2" long and are stiff and course, making it a great brush for heavy general-purpose grooming and mud removal.
