Herb Offline Upload & Sell: On

We are traveling around Germany this weekend, near the Black Forest Region. We love to go look for castles and found one where it was nicely restored and had shops around it that were functional. In this shop we found a man that was carrying on the family business of making brushes. Not just any kind, really nice. In the first photo is a photo of his dad, more than 90 years ago when he started the business in Berlin.
This gentleman had since moved the business 24 years ago to its present location just next to the castle. I ask him what was the most difficult brush to make and he showed me a brush that was silver and over 400 years old. He said people will bring these kinds of brushes to him to redo the brush itself. I can only imagine the pressure of not screwing it up!
Here are the photos of some of what he makes and tools of his trade! Shot with Canon 1Dx and 24-105 f4
Enjoy!
