Strong Stuff 2,171 Posted January 16, 2009 Report Share Posted January 16, 2009 They're smart mate! There's a couple of old boys I know who've got some cracking sticks, although perhaps not to everyones taste ............. they were made in the Maze, and have all the signs and symbols of certain collared orders on them, snakes etc, amazing detail on them. Just one other thing ............. who's is the arm holding the stick? I'm sure you told me you had your arms waxed?! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DDD 4 Posted January 17, 2009 Report Share Posted January 17, 2009 Good work on those sticks, the rabbit reminds looks similar to the work of the bloke whose trademark is the little mouse. There's an old bloke up this way who is spot on at the stick making - Acorn sticks I think he calls himself. That said, I've never seen work like these. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Back Stabbath 1 Posted January 18, 2009 Report Share Posted January 18, 2009 Very nice! I particularly like the dog head, when viewed from the side its just lovely. I've actually been interested in stick making myself, got a couple of ash branches seasoning in the shed, gonna have a go at them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
