Wooden keiryu bait basket

So I’ve been getting right into keiryu fishing lately, and searching the web for keiryu related things. It seems traditionally that the fisherman would keep there freshly gathered bait in a little wooded cup hung around the neck (餌ば こ - esaba ko).
My dad is pretty handy with wood turning so I commissioned him to make one for me. The wood has been sealed with a mixture of beeswax and olive oil, so it shouldn’t be toxic to little critters.

Does anybody else here have one they’ve made or otherwise acquired?
