I am extremely happy with this purchase so far:The build quality is excellent. Bristles are strong, yet pliable and I’ve experienced no shedding so far. They are held together by an extra thick metal band to minimize any shedding.I love the extra long handle – longer than most chalk brushes I’ve used. It definitely helps with fatigue when I’m painting I also appreciate it because my hands are on the larger side.The leather strap is a nice touch. I can hang the brush up to dry when I’m finished using it and I don’t have to store it in a drawer.I came across this randomly on Amazon while I was looking for something else that was related and I feel fortunate that I did. I’m amazed that Featherline is selling these at such a low price. This brush is of as good or better quality than other brushes I’ve purchased that easily cost me 2-3 times as much. I’m thinking of picking up a second brush soon in case prices go up.I’ve only painted 2 pieces of furniture so far so I will update this review down the line if I experience anything that changes my opinion of this brush. As of right now, it’s an excellent quality brush at an outstanding price and will be my new go-to brush for chalk & wax painting.
