> I briefly spoke to Larry, yesterday................................look at me calling him Larry, like, I have known him for years and I have never met the man. He seems like a really nice guy very friendly over the phone. I brought the brush on Woodcraft's web site, some time ago. I started using the brush and several hairs not a clump but several hairs came loose while I was using the brush so I stopped using the brush. I put the brush up and have not used in 5 to 6 years. Now I want to use the brush and now I have to figure out where I put the brush..............not easy being a Senior citizen for sure. Thank you so much for e-mailing with your comments about bark finish and the brush, I really do appreciate your response. To bad I'm not closer I would try a take a class from you. Oh, I mentioned to Mr. Yudis, yesterday about some of the hairs coming loose from the brush while I was using it. I detected a little concern from him I think, He said maybe should be addressed. I told him I had a brush for a few years. So if you chat with him please don't mention my comments to him about the brush. I don't want him to think I'm saying anything bad about him or his products. I think he an okay guy.  I hope this isn't to wordy for you. Have a really great and blessed day.  Oops, don't suppose you have a web site I could look at. Might be able to get some ideals. No carvers where I live here in North Eastern New Mexico .................................yes we are a state.

Also as I recall a Ms. Woodward suggested that you sold a brush that could also be used for brushing a bark carving. If you have time could you give me just a little info. on the brush and the cost. I talked with a woodcraft home the other day. Spoke with a Sam as I recall, he furnished a number of 333243 but when I did the search it showed no results. Woodcraft does not accept my credit card Amex. So do you think they would ship and send me a bill or me send a check and wait for it to clear before my order is shipped. I know I want the polish and I'm thinking I would buy two brushes depending on what you think of the brushes and mail one to my brother he carves as . Thanks for your time. I know this is wordy, but shucks I'm retired so what else do I have to do.
