Has anyone determined what kind of wood this brush is made of? I'm surprised it's not stated in the listing.

I don't know. I just know that the brush lasts a long time. I have cleaned it with mild soap & warm water & then let it dry. This is the only brush my family uses.

Jenifer, I believe they are made of nylon but the material is not stiff and I use it for more than just the grill. It has become my go to brush for my wok because it is gentle enough so as not to disturb the seasoning of the metal

I am not sure but I think this is an average quality brush. It works but i haven't been overly impressed with it

As I recall, the box indicated it was made in China. The brush itself does not list a country of origin.

It's pine. I have several bokken I use in Aikido and this is for display only. It broke in my vehicle when I moved to a new home. This should be made from Oak but it is not.Here is a link to a picture of the broken bokken. :)http://imageshack.com/i/mrly33j

The wood is cocobolo. I returned this product due to unnatural imperfections in manufacture and finishing.

I am sorry I don't know. All I do know that it looks like a badge brush, it feels like a badger brush and works wonderfully well on first use and only improves with use. If this one ever wears out I certainly would by another without question.

Yes. Both the handle and bristles are wooden. I don't know what kind, but I do not think it is bamboo. It's definitely very smooth and rather light-weight. I would say it is of high caliber. It is by far the very best brush I have ever experienced. I would not be without it. I have used a widu brush for at least 15 years. My daughter (age 10) even has one. She loves it because it is so comfortable on your scalp and detangles even wet hair without any pain. It truly is a remarkable brush. My husband even has a small travel sized one that he uses at home and for travel!

I'm sorry, I don't remember but I don't think it was wood as this would not be in line with the price. It was a gift for my daughter's friend so I never had it in my possession for long.

Yes. The Widu Wooden Brush is made out of wood, although I am not sure about the type of wood. The variation in pattern looks similar to oak, but it seems too light weight to be oak. It could be ash. It is a beautiful, well constructed product that has been hand crafted in Italy. The best thing about these products however are the wooden bristles rather than the wooden handles. They move freely through the hair regardless of texture. This reduces split ends and breakage. This is the most effective and highest quality brush I have ever purchased. It is definitely worth the money to reduce damage caused by brushing. Yes. The Widu Wooden Brush is made out of wood, although I am not sure about the type of wood.

Seems that Ashley and I disagree about the wood....I don't have the booklet anymore so I'm not sure what it said about the type of Chinese wood it is......maybe it's Chinese cedar. Sorry for obfuscation.

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!

Agree with Brad W. I looked at the exposed ends and it seems to be a solid piece of wood--not fiberboard. As to the specific type, its impossible to tell visually since its painted.

I don't know, but the brush is a real bargain. It is better that one I had for years and bristles fell out regularly. This brush, the Classic Men's Club, is an excellent brush.

I am not sure of what wood it is made out of because I ordered it and had it sent to my granddaughter in Sedona , Arizona. But since my son and daughter in law are into all things organic so I am sure it had no toxic paints or glue.

It is solid wood... Not sure if it's US lumber though. Distributed from California if that helps. Probably Canadian lumber.

I double checked it, it's a piece of solid wood. It's light wood color, with a bit darker wood veins. Though I'm not familiar with wood species, I think it is oak. Hope this answer helps.. :)
