Lynn Shulak, who is a hench in the FOF garden at Bristol Ren Faire makes
them. I bought mine from the wood shop that use to be next to the garden.
Lynn also taught a class in it one year. You can usually see her walking
around the garden with the lucet in her hand.

Minor comment on lucets in general. I find the handled ones less easy
to carry around, because they don't fit into a needlework bag as well.
I think the main thing the handle is good for is spinning the lucet
around while working, but I've never missed having one and don't think
