    This is a picture of a stick that you may be interested in.To my mind,it is too short for work on "the hill" and too long for wandering about with.The shaft is hazel with the twists put in as a natural event by wild honey suckle.The top is walnut from a broken gun stock from rather a smart shotgun.


    The stick.




    The top.




    Twists.
