Shaving brush

I am turning a shaving kit (razor + brush) for my father for christmas and I just started to consider how I would mount the brush handle for finishing. It has a 20 mm blind hole for mounting the bristles and I plan to turn it between centers initially, but finishing is a bit of an issue. Currently I plan to either mount some wood to my mini cole jaws and turn some wooden spigot jaws or try a jam chuck that fits into the hole - can anyone offer some experience or tips on either of these things?

Also, any tips or cautions for working with Bocote?

Thanks in advance

GK :eek:
 
pin chuck

Not sure how long the blind hole is but you can make a pin chuck to hold without anyother external means. I use this for turning bottle stoppers.
