This is the original woodgrainer's tool for mostly straight graining. Many brushes can be used to grain, but there isn't a substitute to our black squirrel 2-header. It delivers the most realistic rendering in woodgraining because it makes a new print every time. Each head is packed with hair so it can run a full length of panel without reloading medium. Also, great for painting the heartgrain on walnut.
