Slowly bringing Large, Medium and Small Brushes for each type.

But the post says it all.

These are hand made cactus Bristles brushes made for rock climbers to clean rocks and indoor climbing holds to improve friction to help aid grip when climbing.

I use cactus fibre rather than Nylon bristles or Boar hair bristles (which is no way ethical or sustainable no matter what company's claim)

Its a hard watch but you can look it up and see why people are so against the boar hair bristles industry.

Which as my brushes dont use animals products in its production it is a vegan friendly product.

Thank you all for the support and feedback to help me improve the products bit by bit.

Brush Update, rather than Standard size and the mini version.
There will now be Large, Medium and Small.

Some people might remember the small brushes that i had in product arpund four years ago but i wasnt happy with how well they worked as a brush so i ended up scrapping them until i was happy with the overall product.

Which after getting a 3d printer i was able to to design and tweak the molds i needed to make the brush heads usable.

I still need to make the small size brushes for the Plywood, Skateboard, Mosaic and Walnut Versions.
The small brushes in the photo is Sepele as I am running low on the offcuts of walnut.

All in due time though.

Happy to be expanding the types of brushes i can make though. Might not seem like it but making the smaller size brushes actually take more time to design and develop.

But happy to finally have a design i am happy with.

African Purple Heart Brushes.
In the standard size and mini versions.

And Yes that is its natural colour.

Managed to get a large enough offcut to finally be able to make a few Purple Heart handles which i think the last time i came across some offcuts of purple heart was back in 2022.

Fantastic timber to work with, it's a very hard heavy wood which oddly is very easy to work with.

Simple Brush

I wanted to make a brush similar to mass produced climbing brushes. But still made from scrap timber I collect from workshops and with my signature replaceable home made cactus fibre bristles.

It's affordable, has replaceable brush pads, still made from recycled timber and 100% hand made by me.

Simple.

No other UK brush maker offers this with their low end brushes.

Made From Waste.

It's funny how you buy something silly and end up loving it.

So I got this LED cactus light to help communicate the rock climbing brushes I make have bristles made from Cactus fibre also known as Tampico.

But I had to stop myself from buying two more.
One more should be plenty.

There are a few things I need to communicate better with Bee Kind Climbing as a business.

1) I make everything myself (including the brush heads) from reclaimed material that I go and find.

2) everything I make has been inspired by another climber. If i didn't listen to people I would have one type of balm and still only be making recycled chalkbags.

Maybe I should change the slogan to,
'Made By A Climber, Inspired By Climbers'

5 years went by quick.

If you met me in person you know how much i love making things. Even though I complain because I don't have enough time to climb as much as I like.

I love the feedback I get about my products but I like that each year I will always look at how I could improve the things I make either by trying new processes or sharing ideas with a climber who is also an enthusiastic woodworker

I love that Every product I make has been inspired by a fellow climber.

Like the Eco Bloc which just chatting with I made improvements to how I made the Crimp Blocs
Which here he is lifting 70ish kg on 'Pocket bloc' at earlier in the year.

Got some amazing people I get to sponsor .climbs

I love going to events, talking to fellow climbers and other brands like
