la bala Posted November 5, 2013 Report Share Posted November 5, 2013 I read recently on the forum, someone was talking about twisted sticks. For anyone who has never seen one, i have posted these pics of one of mine. The twist is caused by years of growth of honysuckle or some other vine like plant growing on the hazel, and becoming embedded in the stick.
