brambles 3,031 Posted April 1, 2020 Report Share Posted April 1, 2020 With having a bit of time on my hands due to the lock down thought I'd make a few walking sticks, one with the dogs head has just been glued up so I'll get to the finishing tomorrow, realised I had no epoxy left so took a chance and put it together with Gorilla glue just need to see if it stands the test of time 8 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

spsurfer 891 Posted April 1, 2020 Report Share Posted April 1, 2020 (edited) Wow!! These look GREAT!!! Last autumn I cut some blackthorn sticks, this winter I straightened and hopefully in summer I will finish them. Two more hazel sticks are waiting now since 2 years. I wanted to put on a sheppheards crook or market stick crook but don't know yet if I should use a ferrule or not.. Very nice hobby Regards Nicolas Edited April 2, 2020 by spsurfer 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
