Does anyone know if RV could turn a brush without his coin on the bottom? I’m not a fan of the cheapy coin he implanted on my brushes 3 years ago. Maybe he has changed it recently. Anyone have any Veys turned recently?

Why wouldn't he? It's a custom brush after all.
You should try asking him.

Very true!!!! Thank you. I have a rainbow resin that needs turned.
I do not inlay a"cheapy coin" in my brushes. The buttons are hand turned by me, then customer laser engraved. Every button is unique as my brushes are. Those makers who use coins have them mass produced......

Maybe I should have chosen better words. I’m just not a fan of the coin you use. That’s it.
Kinda feel like this all could have/should have been resolved via a simple PM with Rudy. He’s a great guy. . .
Love my RV logo brushes. They say hard work, patience, and craftsmanship when I look at them.
I would have this preferred. He made this post first and then sent me the pm about 30 minutes later. I saw this post first....I would have not had a problem in omitting the button if he had asked me in private.
Calm, collected, & class. Thank you Mr. Vey.
By all accounts, Rudy is honorable, responsive, and a talented handle maker. All of his responses here prove that too. I don't have one of his brushes yet, but I know I will.
I will also say that I have a few custom handles without any maker's marks or coins on them. Because I asked them when discussing the order. In my experience, brush makers just want you to enjoy their handles in any way that pleases the buyer.

Mr Vey clearly is a gentleman. I certainly would have been far less charitable in my response to the OP had he characterized my work as "cheapy."
Every one is entitled to his/her opinion I suppose. My opinion, based on the 4 Rudy Vey brushes I have purchased over the past 6 years or so, is that Rudy's work is very professionally done and as good as, if not better, than that of any other brush makers out there.
With all this said before, I can only add; Perhaps this is your opportunity to realize the august body of humankind you have had the great luck to discover and be allowed to offer yourself the chance to become a member thereof. Words have meaning, intention expresses itself - whether we know we are doing so or not. On the message boards of the internet people often do not realize how clearly they are 'read' and how deeply first impressions reach. Comport oneself as a Gentleman and you will never know how close the knife fight might have been.
(and forgive me my indiscretion herewith, I have been witness to some of the worst behavior offered up as examples of human beings 'sharing' their opinions and beliefs. Certainly not here, but another board I'd thought was inhabited by people of taste and sound etiquette.)

I have owned a fair few Rudy Vey handles over the years. I keep ordering them because of the craftsmanship - I prefer Rudy's work to any handle from Simpson or M&F or any other brush that I've owned - and because of Rudy's demeanor. He is endlessly patient in dealing with some very fickle and particular clients (I'm sure I'm one of the worst) and always willing to accommodate requests.
In general, I find that private communication should always precede public discussion, since it will often preclude the need for public discussion.
Rudy, thanks for your service and wonderful work. It enriches this hobby.
