# Overall the size is 580 x 380mm when closed together, with a depth of 35mm (thats with both sides closed)..


A LARGE WOOD BRUSH STAND - FOR 14 LONG BRUSHES
Here is the best way to care for your Chinese/Japanese brushes. By hanging them on the silk cord loop on the brush handles end. This allows a brush to dry after use without endangering the ferrule end socket. The hair is glued into the ferrule socket using animal glue, as such this is water soluble, if left to soak for many hours.

A brush that has been cleaned after use and then left on its side or with the hair upward in a holder, will thus allow extra water to seep into the socket and weaken this glue.

The picture (above) has a brush stand carved to look like bamboo and finished in a rosewood varnished colour. It takes 14 brushes with 7 on each side.

The cost of this stand is
AUD$132.95 each boxed.
