Stick project.

I thought I would have a go at crook making, for a good friend who has recently received the "Freedom of the city of London". I had a nice piece of Hazel, which I debarked, cut to a suitable length and sanded smooth. I had never made Crook before and had no traditional materials to hand, so looking through my scrap bin, I found a piece of 25mm Birch ply. After cutting out the shape of the crook on the bandsaw, I filed and sanded it to it's final shape. I also used a piece of antler as a spacer and a 6" M10 threaded rod to join it all together. The finish is a mixture of bees wax and turps. Thanks for looking.

That's a lovely bit of work Colin which ought to come in real handy when he drives his sheep over London Bridge

That's going to be the joke when we see her tonight, she isn't expecting it.

Lovely work that. I collected some various lengths and thicknesses of hazel earlier in the year to try some stick making
