Gaz_Lurcherlad 382 Posted October 20, 2020 Report Share Posted October 20, 2020 Anyone used Hawthorne for a knife handle I’m sure an old bloke I used to know when I was a young kid used to make things out of it or am I wrong cheers Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jeemes 3,491 Posted November 4, 2020 Report Share Posted November 4, 2020 This head is on Hawthorn taken from the wood where he was caught. It was dried for a year but still split Ive made a stick or too out of it but Im not sure the bark is that stable. Im no expert but I thought Blackthorn would be better.

foxdropper 17,092 Posted November 4, 2020 Report Share Posted November 4, 2020 Any wood needs seasoning before working for at least a year .Hawthorn very hard wood to work with but but very satisfying when done and hard wearing .Old boy near us twists it around a bar when young to get some real quirky sticks and handles from .Same with holly . 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
