While shopping at Lee Valley for honing tools and scale material I noticed they sold inexpensive badger knots. I had an old table leg all ready to turn into a handle when I went to toss something in a dumpster and found a couple bamboo tiki torches someone had tossed.

Took one home, sawed off a couple inches, used my drill press to spin it so I could sand a taper in the mouth and hot-glued the badger in place.

Presto.
