a bespoke service

All of my sticks are hand crafted using traditional stick making techniques and can be personalised upon request. They make the perfect gift for any occasion.   
​
​If required,  I  can provide you with a Gift Certificate   whilst your order is being crafted. I will keep you updated throughout the stick making process, sending you photos from the workshop so that you can see your stick really come to life.  

The shanks/ shafts are locally sourced, seasoned Hazel from the Midlands. A brass collar can also be added but this needs to be stipulated at time of ordering.

The shank/shaft is traditionally pegged into the head piece making for a stronger secure joint. 
​
The heads are crafted in lime wood, each piece is hand carved making it unique and individual to the next, so no two heads are the same thus making your stick a truly one-off piece and personal to you.
​
Once the head is carved the eyes are set before detailing the fur, each head piece is then hand painted before being pegged to the shank/shaft. 

A nickel or brass collar can be added at this point. The choice is yours. Each stick is then oiled giving it a water / weatherproof finish that can be used all year long

Finally, a ferrule is added to the  stick to protect the bottom of the shank when used in the field. 

All of my sticks are produced using traditional stick making tools and techniques.

The sticks are not suitable  for use as a beating stick.
