This is a handcrafted handle by Robert Quinn from Mesquite burl that is found in Northern Mexico and the southwestern United States.  Mesquite trees are also found in the Chihuahuan Desert of Mexico.  Mesquite trees can reach a height of 20 to 30 feet, although mostly they are shrub size.   Mesquite is an extremely hardy, drought-tolerant plant because it can draw water from the water table through its long taproot (recorded at up to 190 ft. in depth).  Mesquite wood is hard, allowing it to be used for furniture and implements.  The hard, dense lumber is also sold as Texas Ironwood and is rather harsh on saws, chain saws, and other tools.  Artisans and woodcrafters in Northern Mexico claim that mesquite should be cut under the light of a full moon to avoid splitting.  While this has not been proven, mesquite does take longer to cure than most hardwoods.

The handle is made from a poured acrylic resin surrounding the mixture of feathers from a number of species, such as Duck, Pheasant, Partridge, Quail and Guinea Fowl. Several of the feathers were dyed to provide a striking contrast in this visually stunning piece.

This unique handle was cast by John Underhill, an award winning feather artist and resin caster.  Each feather is painstakingly placed prior to casting in crystal clear acrylic resin.  This is truly a “one of a kind” piece as, just like snowflakes, each feather has a different pattern, color shade and character.

This razor handle is 3.875 inches long and weighs 1.6 ounces.

Please note that all the feathers in this handle were acquired from domestic, pen-raised birds and are 100% legal.  All the required tags and permits have been obtained.

This brush features a handcrafted handle by Robert Quinn from Waterfall Bubinga which grows in Equatorial Africa, from Cameroon and Gabon to southeast Nigeria, to the Congo region, and to some extent, in Zaire.  Bubinga sapwood is very pale with clear demarcations. A variety of colors can be found in the heartwood, that include pink, vivid red, or red-brown with purple veining. On exposure, the veining becomes less conspicuous, and the deep colors fade to yellow or medium brown with a reddish tint. Waterfall Bubinga has a wavy grain reminiscent of ripples on water.  Unusual and beautiful curved figuring makes Bubinga an excellent choice for architectural woodwork and veneers, furniture inlays and musical instruments. The most popular use of Bubinga is as veneers, especially the highly figured logs.

This brush features a handcrafted handle by Robert Quinn from Amboyna burl which is found in Indonesia, especially on the Andaman group of islands.  Amboyna burl is one of the rarest & most expensive woods in the world.  The burly part of the log is often very small, yielding only wood in small dimensions.  The color ranges from deep yellow orange to deep red and after finishing Amboyna burl reveals a depth & liveliness in color like found in no other.  Amboyna burl was a popular, frequently used wood in the Jugendstil epoch in the twenties. It was also the first burl wood to be used by Rolls Royce for dashboards.
