Gary, Yes, these SMF brush projects were a great deal of work and grief for whoever wound up being the 'point man' for them. With the SMF I brush everyone was going positively crackers because their paid for brushes were not arriving. Turned out that most of them were tied up for weeks in Memphis by customs and, believe it or not, the fish and wildlife people. It was a madhouse on the forum during this period...personally I stayed away from the Brushes section for a couple of weeks it was so wacked out. The last one, the SMF III went the smoothest. Johnnie was again the 'point man' and the brush was specially made for us by Rooney. But even with no major glitches it was still a lot of work. Having another one done has been brought up periodically by various members but the long and short of it is that none of the mods. or admins. have the willingness to pilot a project like that through these days.

Gordon

It makes sense that the one who's providing the limited edition product and getting paid would be the best choice to take on the project. Another consideration would be to "save money", which is obviously the most lame reason. Placing an order in bulk, then imposing upon one hapless participant to receive the single shipment from the maker while simultaneously trying to collect everyone's money to pay for the product, then pack and mail all of the items to the individual buyers would be a hellish inconvenience.

I only have the II. I have used it only a handfull of times, I fear for the olive wood handle. Even coated it twice for protection.
I am envious of the people who got the SMF I. The Cocobolo handle makes for an absolutely gorgeous brush.

At one point had some hand made cocobolos for sale. They look pretty nice, I sent him an email.
