Yeah but to spend 50 $ on top of a 60 $ for a not that bad experience ? People need to have higher expectations and just stop throwing money at companies for the sake of it . <| sep |> The only person who ' s faked it more is my ex ! . wait . <| sep |> Don ' t play with my emotions , Bioware . <| sep |> Who are the CoOperative party that received more donations than both them Plaid Cymru ? <| sep |> To be fair , as much as I would flood the streets with my semen if Hillary went to jail , it ' s not gonna happenSo let ' s just jail uspez insteadinb 4 CP in this comment <| sep |> Thank you ! I dont know what mass produced wood handles use for a finish , but if its anything like commercial furniture that many of us have it probably spray lacquer . Its not very durable , but it dries fast . That may be why they add the metal cup . That cup also limits your knot size , I dont think Ive ever seen one larger then 2022 mm . Ive had the question come up about care of a wood brush , as long as you dont soak the entire handle , let it air dry in an open space , and dry it off after use its a non issue , which you should do with any brush , wood or resin . I think wood brushes get a back rap because some turners arent using a good finish . What works for pens , doesnt work for wood brushes that are subject to water , soap , ect . Ive spend a lot of time testing both commercial and DIY mixes . Ive settled on one that offers a good look as well as durability . Ive had very good luck with the finish , but even if you would ever had an issue its pretty easy to fix . Probably more then what you were looking for , but this question has come up a time or 2 . TLTRWith basic care , its a nonissue .
