What kind of wood pins are the brushes made out of?

I really cannot tell. They appear plastic but if (yes I did) you hold a pin gently between your teeth, it is obvious the material is wood. The pins are soft and rounded and well-spaced. Never had a problem with hair being pulled. I love the brush. Hope this helps.

i am not sure what you meant by the pin, but these clippers work very well.

mine was bronze. if you use the brush for nails (such as the smiles in a french manicure), the metal part doesn't hold the brush tight enough and individual fibres fall out...

No - they are plastic or nylon, but definitely NOT wood. I was really disappointed when I bought mine in July, because I thought the bristles were wood or bamboo from reading the other reviews. However, when the brush came, I discovered that they are plastic or nylon. The description doesn't say they're wood, but they don't say the brush has changed since the other reviews, either. It's also a very lightweight brush, with somewhat cheesy-looking screws holding it together. If you want a great wooden brush with actual wooden bristles (which actually do feel really great when you brush your hair), get the OTHER brush I ordered in July: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000KM3NDO/ref=cm_cr_asin_lnk No - they are plastic or nylon, but definitely NOT wood.

The shelf pins are metal. The shelves are 1/2" thick and quite hefty.The backing is a dense type of fiberboard ....not flimsy cardboard/poster board type. It fits well and ample small nails included to fasten it quite securely to the frame. Has a nice look in matching the wood tone/grain of the frame and shelves.

They are solid wood...some kind of hard pine or birch I think. (Don't count on my tree species identification :-) ..but certainly solid wood)

I have no idea about pins. Our globe was of such poor quality, that we sent it back!!

Don't know composition but they are the soft polishibg brushes and work very well.

Hard plastic. I used them for awhile and one has already broken. The brush snapped off the handle. Hope this helps!

The bristles are made of very thin plastic. I have had the brush for a year and the bristles have not even come close to melting. The bristles do not have nubby tips at the ends. I love this brush! The best brush I have ever had,. The brush head is not solid, it has great air flow through it. Dries my hair faster and makes it so smooth!

The brush has stiff bristle. It worked well for what I needed. Hope this helps.

It looks like they are, as they're merely screwed in place. But you'd have to find a supplier to get the proper size. The frame in which they are positioned seems like it is quite solid and durable, so I can imagine the frame would outlast a well used set of brushes. The vendor who sells these on Amazon might carry replacement brushes, or be able to identify a source.

In my opinion they are better quality. Wooded handles as opposed to the hollow metal in R.T. and more dense. These brushes are department store quality.

The pins do hold up well and don't recede into the cushion. Chris Christensen's brushes were recommended to me by a Great Pyrenees breeder of 30+ years, said the brushes are the best out there and she highly recommends them. They also have a life time warranty. My problem is I left my brush out and my pup picked it up and chewed the handle. . . So I need to replace mine, too!

The ones I received were true Sigma brushes. I have purchased from the Sigma websites directly and these are identical in brush weight, feel, texture.

The tips are molded as part of the actual bristle. They don't fall off. The brush holds up very well--we've had three of them over the years and are very pleased with the quality and durability.

What I purchased from Amazon were simple wooden sticks that had been dipped in a silver nitrate paste (or so they appear). The work well.
