WalkedUp Posted January 25, 2022 Report Share Posted January 25, 2022 (edited) It is my eldest son’s birthday this week. Tonight one of my fellow guns popped over the border with a present that he’s made for him, a beautiful and tiny blackthorn stick topped with sika from our syndicate, walnut gunstock offcut and a .410” brass cartridge head. It’s absolutely lovely and my son is thrilled with it. I will add pictures in the morning as he’s gone to sleep cuddling it. A really generous and thoughtful gift that will be kept for a very long time. Edited January 26, 2022 by WalkedUp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A brilliant gilt that will last....I do love making sticks for youngsters and when adding a taller shank as they get older is always a pleasure...👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WalkedUp Posted January 26, 2022 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2022 (edited) He won’t let me take a picture until he’s wearing his shooting clothes. He tried to get dressed into them this morning minutes before the school run, which caused chaos as you can imagine 🤣 Edited January 26, 2022 by WalkedUp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
