Surprise!!!

[StratMan]

So my lovely wife and kids have conspired with @TroyTools to get me a gift for my bday. This was totally kept a secret from me so I got the surprise of my life when I opened up my present.

The result is an absolutely stunning 28mm SHD Lotus tip badger. The work on the handle is incredible and the pics dont quite do it justice.

This brush feels as good in the hand as it looks... I believe the little bit of weight of the burl gives the handle an luxurious feel in the hand. My Apollo brush feels the same.

Big thanks to my lovely wife and troys gifted hands, cant wait to take this baby out for a ride tonight

Like all of Troy's handles, it looks stunning

Yes that one was a real long labor of love when making it, and I'm so glad it got snapped up quickly and now lives with a very happy repeat customer! You're a lucky man to have such an understanding (enabler) wife. Happy birthday mate!
