I literally just laughed out loud there Tom. To be honest I bought this huge candle holder at a garage sale for $5. It was a solid burl of some sort that I've chopped up.

For some reason that glued on chunk of burl reminds me of the joke about a guy who walks into a bar with a frog on his head.;)

Oh Geez the badger too. That's gut wrenching but it happens.
It's Amboyna burl, indian ebony, and now also an unknown burl segment. This burl is definitely not an ironwood. It's on par with poplar for density.
This is a desert ironwood brush I did for myself a while back. 26mm tgn grade A. I love this brush a lot.

From the looks of it, it'll be a nice contrast to the rest of the handle. Good luck.
Wow! You must have been a bad boy!
