Stealth Stalker Posted February 11, 2009 Report Share Posted February 11, 2009 Thought I'd share a few pics of some of the sticks that I've made & am in the process of making A one piece hazel pheasant **** stick & one piece hazel crook A one piece simple **** stick, finished with several coats of boiled linseed. A one piece blackthorn pointer head, this ones giving me a bit of grief getting it right :( A double tined antler on hazel project A weighted antler priest with buffalo horn caps, made from a set of cast antlers kindly sent to me by Henryd last year I'll take some pics of the end products when I finally get round to finnishing them, I've also got some great vine twisted hazel shanks seasoning in the shed that I cut in France while on holiday.

Highlander Posted March 11, 2009 Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 Nice work SS. It’s so good to see people who can carve the whole stick rather that just sticking a ready made (in China) head on it! What tool/s do you use for your carving?

Cheers Highlander The hardest part is finding a suitable shank, then waiting for it to season. I first get the basic shape with a rasp & then I have to confess the dremmel comes out for the detailing SS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adbirdy Posted March 12, 2009 Report Share Posted March 12, 2009 I really like the one piece hazel crook. I've been looking for a suitable piece of timber to make one of those for myself but haven't had any luck at all and it's getting a bit late now!! Just have to keep my eyes peeled next winter. Good work anyway Ade Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy. Posted March 12, 2009 Report Share Posted March 12, 2009 (edited) nice one mate, they look top. I bumped into a bloke who happens to live just up the road from me whilst walking the dog and he's a stickmaker and also happens to have an armoury of FAC rifles...!
