i normaly make them a little under head hight... dono if there are any rules though


make it tall.. if its too long cut a bit off

Thanks. :biggthump

Just that i'm 6' 3'' and is easier if I can find a piece that is as short as it has to be.

They shrink alot during seasoning aswell.

I'm about5'10' so I like mine 6ft. It often serves as a ridgepole for a quick shelter, I've tried shorter ones but they're not as functional for me. down side is its sometimes a pain to transport but thats my only gripe!!.

Thanks for the offer but I don't think I will be able to get there. :roll: I will go searching at the weekend in some woods near uni.

Woodrat - take a look at the site that Maximus highlighted. There is a screw joint on there that could be fitted to your staff so that it can be taken apart like you can with a snooker / pool cue. Ive just bought one with a view to fitting it to a larger staff so that it can be easily strapped to the side of a pack when not needed.
