My Walking and Working Sticks are Handmade from a variety of different materials. The shanks are cut from the hedgerows, straightened with steam and finished in a way that retains their natural character.  The range includes Traditional Shepherds Crooks and Walking Sticks, Market Sticks , Knob Sticks, Thumb Sticks and Novelty examples.
The Handcrafted  Handles are fashioned from beautifully figured Timber, Rams Horn, Buffalo Horn, Stag Antler and Cow Horn. They are finished in a variety of ways to complement the material used. 
Some Handles are embellished with spacers, collars, caps and decorative items to create a really individual  Stick.                         All the sticks, (
and many many more), that feature on the pages are available for immediate dispatch.

When choosing a stick for those walks in the country, it is important to have the correct length. I can shorten and re-ferrule any stick at no extra charge to make it comfortable to use. Please contact me for advice.

                Postage, Packing and Insurance to anywhere in the U.K. will cost an extra £10.50 -  £12.50,
​dependent on the value of the stick. 

                           I regret I cannot send Sticks to addresses outside of the UK.  
      If you buy a stick it will give you good service for years and hopefully become an 'old friend'. 
                   For me, that makes it all worthwhile.

Creating a stick handle from a horn necessitates a considerable degree of skill, and a great deal of time and patience. Horns need to be heated, carved and shaped every step of the way, and they are notorious for 'doing their own thing'. Being a recycled natural product, they often have minor imperfections and irregularities that may still be evident in the finished product. In my opinion this just adds to their individuality and charm.
Please note, my sticks are 'Country Sticks', which means they may retain some natural characteristics and features which add to their individuality.    They are not like the 'manufactured' ones you would buy in a shop.

My Crooks are very strong but unlike a Crook that is made from metal, or a single length of steam bent timber, Crooks with a separate handle fitted to the shank might sustain damage if used to stop a sheep travelling at speed.

I will accept returned sticks if the buyer is not totally satisfied. I will issue a full refund, including postage and packing, if I am notified within 14 days of delivery, and the stick is returned in it's condition on arrival. The buyer is required to pay any return postage and packing costs.

 Visitors are very welcome but please ring ahead in case I am out, or up at the allotment.
