Description

NOTE: This listing is for the brush handle only.  If you would like a knot set into your handle, please select a knot from the Premium, Standard or Synthetic selections in the Knots category listing and I will gladly set it for you.

The handle is shown with a 24mm knot for presentation purposes.  The handle may be adjusted to accept a 26mm knot.

This is a handcrafted handle by Robert Quinn from Desert Ironwood which only grows in the washes and valleys of the Sonoran Desert below 2,500 foot elevation.   Desert Ironwood is very hard and dense. It actually sinks in water.  Tradition has it that carvings made from the Desert Ironwood bring good fortune and long life.  Desert Ironwood reaches maturity at 2000 years, more or less.  It was originally used by the Seri Native Americans of Mexico for tool handles.  Today the Seri Indians make carvings of desert plants and animals from the ironwood. Desert Ironwood was the original choice of material for the grips of the Colt .45 handgun.

Handle – 74mm
