Finnish basting brush, willow & tampico

A raw unstripped willow and golden tampico fibre basting brush handmade by the crafts people of a Finnish visually impaired workers cooperative. Tampico is a moderately stiff vegetable fibre harvested from an agave found only in the Chihuahuan desert. The fibres have a microscopically barbed surface, which helps hold water, oils, and glazes as well as having excellent heat resistance making them especially suited to use with marinades when grilling and barbecuing.
