Tiercel 6,986 Posted December 8, 2014 Report Share Posted December 8, 2014 (edited) Those will be gone by February, I have made some myself but they are not that good. Thumb stick Leg cleek in oak for my son who is a big boy all 6ft 4 of him. Leg cleek in sapele for his wife. A market stick in sapele for my grandson. I just make them for family and friends. I have a herons head waiting to be shanked and will get around to doing it eventually. I made a stick a few years ago with a specific purpose in mind see if you can guess the purpose?
