Thanks for sharing your thoughts, Rufus. Because you have a year on me (at least until November), I shall respect my elders


We do try to steer patrons away from colors that obviously don't harmonize, but because our business model encourages a degree of innovation (which means some things might not always work out as intended), we are often surprised at how well combinations we never considered end up. I posted that handle in that spirit.
Best wishes for a great day!

). Truth be told, all the M&F bi-colour beehives created prior to the one pictured above were (are?) in the resin colors you mention. (Yes, I'm a traditionalist too (see below).)

Brad, no slight intended towards you or your customers. You and Lee have made several brushes for me, which are absolutely delightful, but probably not to everyone’s taste. You have to be responsive to your customers and respond to what the market wants and you certainly do a good job of that, including accommodating Luddites such as me. BTW, come 22 Nov. I’ll be 73.
