Curlew head carved by hand on spectacular hazel twister walking beating stick

For sale, a hand carved Curlew head in local lime wood, (tree cut down on a local Gower estate and milled locally) coloured with wood stains and details enhanced with a purohraph. The head is lacquered against weather. The shank is finished in tung oil giving a very serviceable and hard wearing Matt finish. The hazel used for the shank is a spectacular and hard to find twister.

See photos of the shank and overall stick. The shank is fitted with an angle joint and a spacer made from mahogany recycled from a 100 year old cinema staircase! I have not had any complaints to date! It is a spectacular stick!

The shank is a unique piece of hazel. SEE MY FEEDBACK, THESE ARE GREAT AND VERY WELL RECEIVED! Please just read my feedback! Length overall approx 54 inches, a nice practical length for a walking stick.

Ask for more info if required. Recent feedback :- it arrived today and it is amazing. People in the office have commented on how great it is. Thanks so much Best Mike.

Two excellent sticks, a credit to the maker, highly recommended... 5 service brilliant carving very pleased. I have always had a keen interest in DIY, and woodwork in particular. Both my father and grandfather were very capable woodworkers, my grandfather spent his retirement carving and was a most accomplished wood carver. I still use many of his hand tools to make these sticks! I try to always use local hardwoods and locally hand cut shanks, most of myhazel I cut myself from trees growing around a medieval castle here on the Gower! Each stick takes two to three days to complete, often over the course of a few weeks, I often carve two or three heads at a time, then mount them on shanks and finish them in small batches. As it is a hobby rather than a business, I tend to make whatever I fancy making, and only when I feel in the mood? I do commissions, lately most of my work is commissions, if you want something in particular, please as.
