After a break of five years (and and it doesn't feel only a matter of months ) and after spending a large sum of money building a new shed I've started making some sticks again, and  have made this one for a friend of mines son for a christmas present and I'm glad so far how it's turned out.I must admit it had me worried after a long time away from making them  if I was still up to the job..so I'd glad to get some feedback backnow from you guys...

Thank you my friend it nice getting a feel for the wood again ☺..

I enjoy watching my old stickmaker friend at work. All his stick blanks come out of Norfolk. Myself I am useless with a piece of wood. Keep up the good work and plenty of pics.
