U.S. Art Supply 2-Piece Multi Use Oval and Round Chalk, Wax and Stencil Brushes for Chairs, Dressers, Cabinets and Other Wood Furniture - 100% Natural Bristles, Lightweight and Rust Resistant

I bought these to use the round brush for a small stencil & the other brush to use with Mod Podge to seal the stencil. Both are well made, no bristles were lost during use or cleaning. Cleaning with warm water & a little soap was very easy. I found though that I should have bought a smaller round brush due to the size (3") of the stencil. Still, both are a good value.

I ordered these as I planned to do my first stenciled wooden door sign. These worked great! They did better for larger areas rather than smaller areas. They did not lose any bristles in my use. I found them to be easy to use and cleaned up easily with soap and water. I would recommend.

For my first time chalk painting furniture and buying brushes these worked ok. I read other reviews and soaked the brushes prior to using them so loose bristles would fall out. These brushes aren't very big so if you are painting or waxing a bigger piece of furniture I suggest buying bigger brushes. I did a coffee table and these worked but decided to buy a larger wax brush for that step. I will definitely keep using them for smaller projects but for larger furniture pieces it will save time to have bigger brushes. Even after soaking the brushes prior to first use they did lose a few hairs throughout my projects I painted 3 tables and a mirror. But I suspect that will happen with any brush especially the more you use it. They didn't shed a lot of bristles just a few.

Worked great for greasing and oiling my boots. Bristles stayed fine, and I gave them a workout. 4 pairs 12" hunt and work boots, oiled each pair once, then 2 applications of grease each.

Running an engraver to make industrial custom tags. And even with a vacuum it leaves some material behind. These are fantastic for this purpose. Actually better than the original brush that came with the unit.

Bristles got stiff after rinsing them out

I really should have paid close attention to the dimensions when ordering. That was my fault, so I didnt take off any stars for the brushes being almost laughably small for my project (a large dining table and chairs). I ended up purchasing a larger brush to do the bulk of the project. However, I will say that the large brush (different brand) was horrid compared to these smaller brushes. It shed hairs like crazy. I picked maybe 20 out of the table top alone as I was painting only to pop another 10 up when sanding between coats. These brushes, however, never shed a single hair. I used them for smaller crevices and smaller sections on the chairs. It almost made me wish I had sucked it up and used the small brushes for the whole project.

These are great brushes to use for painting furniture. I have used them on several pieces and they are easy to clean, work great and don't leave too many brush marks.
