Well, I saw a SOTD post from @lu20vt of a SV parquet brush handle and it got me thinking 
So I contacted @TroyTools asking about one made in Hardwood with the "top ring" and in my favourite shape. Following numerous sms and e-mails, it was commenced. Troy sent photos of various stages of the glueing and clamping, followed by a completed cube to the final round timber on the Mandrel, prior to shaping. I can't describe how bloody rapt I am in what I opened today 
This is my 6th brush from Troy, 1 to Cancer Charity Auction, ! for my son and 3 for my Grandsons, when I kick the
