Jelly Posted June 17, 2020 Report Share Posted June 17, 2020 Looking to try my hand at a bit of stick making to ease some of the lockdown blues up here in Edinburgh. If any one has any of the above I'd be very keen to take them off your hands Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westley Posted June 17, 2020 Report Share Posted June 17, 2020 Antler seems to be the new 'Gold' due to people giving it to their doggies to chew ! I bought a piece for the top of a stick recently. I can recall the days I could get any amount of antler for free, NOT any more ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jelly Posted June 17, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2020 Thanks Westley. That's a shame, I might have to change tack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westley Posted June 17, 2020 Report Share Posted June 17, 2020 I used to stock up on bits and occasionally sticks at the Midland Game fair, but as the rest of the show became er..........Rubbish, I stopped going. I now get out and source my own sticks and have made some stick tops from various bits of well figured hard wood. I had some ideas to laminate some various colours of wood and try them too.

martinj Posted June 17, 2020 Report Share Posted June 17, 2020 I got into stick making around 10 years ago, there are some good books on the subject I quite like these: STICK MAKING A Complete Course by Andrew Jones & Clive George Stickmaking by Leo Gowan I'm sure there are more but these have stood the test of time. For materials you can't do better than these guys: https://www.thestickman.co.uk/shop.htm You'll find everything you want there, careful it's an addictive hobby, I wish you hours of fun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
