    New Cromach Pics of Thomas H's Work



    Windy day in the Canyonlands. Thomas is a registered hobbyist on the forum and offered this oak and hardwood cromach for sale. I snapped it up and was most pleased with it today for its first hike.



    Pleat shot. Tartan is Firefighter's Memorial in Semi-trad from USA Kilts. Shirt honors the Granite Mountain Hot Shots. Hat is new too. A new Tilley Airflow in World Camo.

    Back to the cromach was very surprised how light it was even though the base is hardwood. Was light and smooth to the hand when hiking. Quality work Thomas, quality work. Proud to carry it.

    I'd be interested in finding out the cost of shipping something that awkward length to Canada, and which shipper you used.
    Thanks.

    Thanks.
    The shipping cost was $19.95 to Canada. Just sent two this week ,they are long but light .even if it did cost more ,I only charge $20.00 and I make my own boxes, they ship USPS which has proven better then any other. And it takes two weeks to Canada due to Customs. Let me know if you would like one .
