gamekeeper1960 Posted November 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2012 Hi Guys, thanks for the kind words and sorry I have'nt got back sooner but my computer has gone ups-a-dayzy so until I get it fixed or can get a new one Its only when I get round friends that I get on the internet, so lets see if I can answer your questions well firstly they are carved from all sorts of wood all of these apart from the duck are carved from english oak and the duck is alder, yes I do make them for my own use but also for sale !, I do believe in using my own sticks for beating that way I know they will stand up to being used, and I reakon on them taking me around 16-20 hrs each and at the moment I'm working on a ferret for my good lady so I'll post the picture when its finished. cheers Guys. Dave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
