Lining Brushes: Top Lining Brush Models Available at Wrights of Lymm - Our Recommendations

When it comes to precision work, fine detailing and professional signwriting, nothing replaces a high-quality lining brush. At Wrights of Lymm, we stock a curated range of lining brushes designed for clean, controlled lines across trim work, sash windows, decorative edges and traditional pinstriping. Our brushes are crafted using Ox hair or Sable/Ox mixes, bound either in classic quill or durable metal ferrules, giving decorators, artists and signwriters the tools they need for sharp, consistent results.

Lining Brushes: Ox Hair Liners in Quill - Ideal for Smooth Flow and Long Lines

Our Ox Hair Liners in Quill are a popular choice for decorators and signwriters who want a smooth, continuous flow of paint. Ox hair naturally has a strong snap, yet holds a generous amount of paint, making these brushes particularly good for long, uninterrupted lines. 

Best for:

• Sash window lines
• Traditional signwriting
• Vehicle pinstriping
• Long decorative edges on doors or frames

Available in multiple lengths and widths, the quill binding gives the brush a natural flexibility and spring. This makes the brush easy to guide, allowing you to maintain consistent width even across curved or slightly uneven surfaces. If you regularly work on long lines where control and paint-load matter, this type of brush is a dependable choice. 

Lining Brushes: Sable Mixture Coach Lliners in Quill - Designed for Fine, Controlled Detail

Our Sable/Ox Mixture Coach Liners in Quill combine the softness and control of sable with the durability of ox hair. The result is a brush that delivers exceptionally fine detail, sharp edges and smooth finishes.

 Best for:

• Decorative coach lining
• Narrow trim edges
• Delicate scrollwork
• Lettering detail
• Fine restoration work

 These brushes sit comfortably between precision and resilience. The sable content allows for beautifully fine strokes, while the ox hair ensures the hairs maintain their shape under pressure. For decorators and artists looking for predictable control across intricate work, the Sable/Ox blend is the ideal option.

Why Quality Matters in Lining Brushes

Lining brushes are specialist tools. Unlike standard decorator brushes, they are designed to:

• Maintain a consistent line width
• Carry enough paint for long strokes
• Provide the right mix of tension and flexibility
• Respond cleanly to quick changes in direction
• Deliver razor-sharp edges with minimal effort

Lower-quality brushes tend to split, splay or lose shape quickly, which leads to inconsistent edges and more time spent tidying mistakes. At Wrights of Lymm, we supply lining brushes made to traditional standards, ensuring bristles retain their character and the brush feels balanced throughout its life.

Brush Construction: Quill vs Metal Ferrule

We stock lining brushes bound in traditional quills and modern metal ferrules. Both options have advantages depending on your technique.

Quill Binding:

• A classic construction method used in traditional signwriting
• Provides a natural curve and spring
• Excellent for fluidity and responsive strokes

Metal Ferrule:

• More durable and robust
• Holds the hairs firmly for sharper edges
• Ideal for decorators who prefer a slightly firmer feel

 Neither option is “better”. It comes down to the feel you prefer in your hand and the type of work you complete most often.
