I am a flute maker and wood dust is a major problem for me. American Eastern red cedar is gorgeous but if I let any of the dust get me instant sinus infection! Take care Zen Master! Rand

A while back on the Wrekin in shropshire, I found a stick..I made quite a good Hiking Stick out of it without really knowing what I was doing tbh..but it turned out pretty good, its not entirely straight but its added a bit of character to it, so I left it like that, I varnished it with Walnut Colour Varnish then rubbed it down so it gave a natural almost tiger look to it, then teak oiled it, I have a few old pennies so I cleaned one up , bent it and stuck that on.. I bought some Brass Tips for the end, drilled a hole near the top and made a strap handle out of some leather strip I bought.. Made Originally for when walking up the Wrekin, but now sometime later I am having to use it daily for health reasons ( hopefully only temporally) but already people have asked and acquired about it, I call it my Wrekin Stick. I may put a small compass in the Top or my lucky Sixpence, don't know yet. Your vids are great, I may make some more now from what I have learned from them, Many thanks.

I am really enjoying the series. Thank you for putting them together for us to learn some craft. Question, In part 1 I think you said you like to collect the sticks in the winter months when the sap is down. Is that when you cut so that the bark stays on? Will all trees keep the bark on when cut when the sap is down? I am in the states. Thanks again
@woodlandsticks13659 жыл бұрын
Two Tracks Bow & Wool Hi yes stick cutting is best done in the winter when the sap goes down and the leaves fall off,and before the new buds begin to swell in the spring, with less sap in the wood the less shrinkage of the stick and more chance of retaining the bark.all the best Dave

You certainly possess the traditional way for crafting your art and mastery of modern simple pwr tools. It is an honour for me to learn this..now that i watched how you worked , it's like I don't need to refer to other videos anymore. Knife and drill handling, at awe. If i may request for 1 more Sir.

I happen to have a large box of antlers that I wasn't sure I was going to do with. I thought I might keep the larger diameter ones for knife making. Now I know what to do with the rest. Thank you for the lesson! A word of caution though. Antler dust that is created while working on one, esp. sanding or grinding is very harmful once it gets into your lungs, so I highly recommend wearing either a good mask or a respirator.
