This Royal Sable artist paint brush Filbert 8 is made from a select blend of Natural Hairs that are firmer than sable but softer than hog bristle. The result is more control, durability and precision in executing brush strokes. This brush delivers precise control. It has a standard kiln-dried hardwood red handle with a nickel-plated brass ferrule. Brush not shown at actual size. In stock and available for immediate shipping in South Africa.
