French (red leg) Partridge carved by hand on hazel shank, walking beating stick
For sale, a hand carved Red Leg Partridge head in local lime wood, (tree cut down on a local Gower estate and milled locally) stained and markings added by pyrography and finally varnished against weather Matt on the head, gloss on beak and gloss to remainder of the stick. The stick design is the more unusual, for me at least, beak down design. It makes a great stick to hold, the head of the bird fits nicely to hand. The shank is fitted with an angle joint.
It is a spectacular stick! The shank is a nice piece of hazel cut locally myself. This stick is only available due to time wasters, I made two as commissions and two spares which someone said they wanted. The two spares are now available, of which this is one.
SEE MY FEEDBACK, THESE ARE GREAT AND VERY WELL RECEIVED! Length overall approx 54 inches, a nice practical length for a walking stick. Ask for more info if required. 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...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 ask!
