30-6 Posted June 23, 2013 Report Share Posted June 23, 2013 I've seen a cracking thumbstick in a hedge. Was told to leave it until November when the sap was down, but wouldn't it just dry out once cut ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shooting2 Posted June 23, 2013 Report Share Posted June 23, 2013 (edited) Hi mate, I was told for cutting pegs for purse nets wait un till winter other wise it will split when drying if it is a hard wood or hawthorn/blackthorne, and it seems to be true for me. Hope this helps. ATB Kyle Edited June 23, 2013 by Shooting2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ricky green Posted June 23, 2013 Report Share Posted June 23, 2013 asked the same question to a stickmaker friend of mine, and he said to me the best time to cut was when you seen it. ..cos if you dont .A.someone else will. or B.you wont find it again...

mark@mbb Posted June 24, 2013 Report Share Posted June 24, 2013 You should always wait till the autumn when the sapp is low down and the tree is withdrawn for the winter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnphilip Posted June 28, 2013 Report Share Posted June 28, 2013 Like said get it now before someone else does. Just leave it somewere not to warm. Like in a shed will do fine leave it for about a year and cut it longer than you need Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
