Tiercel 6,986 Posted January 7, 2015 Report Share Posted January 7, 2015 I cut sticks in Dec,Jan & Feb but you can cut them all year around, they just take longer to dry when the sap is up, It takes about a year per inch of diameter to season with winter cut sticks, and about 6 months longer for summer cut ones. As to the length whatever suits you is fine. TC 2 Quote Link to post
The one 8,512 Posted January 7, 2015 Report Share Posted January 7, 2015 (edited) Nothing wrong with that mate but dowelling works just as well with no cutting or drying out ?. Edited January 7, 2015 by The one 1 Quote Link to post

NELS0N 457 Posted January 15, 2015 Report Share Posted January 15, 2015 Boxing day is my stick day, a good excuse to go out and walk off that Christmas day over indulgence. A chance for some peace and quiet from her indoors too 2 Quote Link to post
