Well I always knew it as a type of cleaning brush or painting brush where the bristles are arranged covering the end of the stem as a half-sphere, so that the end of the stem does not come into direct contact with the surface being cleaned, especially when cleaning the inside of a cylindrical object !!!!!!!! Or thereabouts

Re: Virtual Ship
Hi Chris.
Used many a Turks head while at sea, would like to use a few more now. When I was doing some painting ashore although smaller it was called a fitch.

To ensure the safety and compliance with all relevant regulations, perhaps we can all club together to raise enough cash for this.

Re: Virtual Ship
Had a shipmate who used to put ships in bottles.
I used to tie Turk's Heads around the neck.
Me ships baked at that. He claimed I could tie them better than his deckmates.
Think he just said that to get extra Tab Nabs.
