The reason why, I think this guy selling the wooden handled pic for $19, is because you can tell from his site that he dabbles in wood related items. He puts in a lot of time working on that handle....I'm sure the end that quilters need, is a very small crochet hook which is stuck in his prized handle. NOT WORTH THE MONEY for quilters, we need practical, reasonable tools, even if it is everyday items found around the house that work.
