Hob&Jill 258 Posted February 12, 2007 Report Share Posted February 12, 2007 £17 for a stick? Naa think Im ok for the time being...... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Eamon.Mc Posted February 12, 2007 Report Share Posted February 12, 2007 Deltor I don't mean to piss on your fire mate but £17 for a stick that does'nt look quite finnished to me is a bit steep. Here's one I made and may I add it cost me nowt as all matierals are natural and free, only took me about 3 hrs to make, I use it for wading while salmon fishing and have made several for some of my mates. The only thing that is time consuming is waiting for the sticks to dry out. P.S I had a bulldog spade delivered for £7.90 mate and I'd say that stick would be a bit lighter?

cragman 2,892 Posted February 12, 2007 Report Share Posted February 12, 2007 Deltor, do you make those sticks verticle too? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Macnas Posted February 12, 2007 Report Share Posted February 12, 2007 Ah give him the benefit of the doubt anyway. Deltor mate, you'll have to learn how to straighten the stick for a start, not to mention leaving it dry naturally. Then you'll have to get some copper pipe caps or thick wall tube and fit it to the end, and then there's finishing the uppermost with some antler,horn, leather cord or whatnot. There's some good books on the subject, get a hold of one and you'll soon be making sticks someone would be happy to pay for. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rabbithunter 456 Posted February 13, 2007 Report Share Posted February 13, 2007 i have never been into stick making, might give it ago sometime, but my dad has made loads years ago, most either given away, bt kept some himself. I have one in my van and i remember a one with a carved badgers head on it, like the duck in the pic, dont know what happend to that though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
