So I was cruising around that famous on line auction site late one night and this little jewel popped up.

It is a nice little shoe brush with an inlay on the back. I am sure Derek has a closet full of these.

We don't wear shoes in Oz. No point in polishing flip-flops (called "thongs" in Oz ... which is different from an undergarment

Nice!

I've heard Australian timbers are very cranky....  I may want to use some the next time I do a dumpster-dive repair like this one
