We try to keep a few of
these sticks in stock but it is not always
possible, especially at busy times. If we have to
make one you may have to wait a few weeks. Average
order times are given below but these are average -
not guaranteed times
|
Unless
we have them in stock you will need to
order a stick and wait for us to make it
for you - we show if sticks are in stock
below by each type.

We like to use
interesting and unusual woods for the handles of
the handmade Regency, Derby, Market Stick and Crook
types. Typically we would use something from the
following list: Elm, Sycamore, Cherry, Walnut,
Beech, Alder, Ash, Rosewood and Mahogany - but if
we see something we like we will try it. Each of
these sticks is handmade, no two are identical.
Occasionally we are asked to make a pair of sticks
and we can try to make them as similar as possible.
We use hazel or chestnut with the bark on, smoothed
down and oil-finished so they feel smooth to the
touch. The sticks which are not handmade come from
a supplier in Scotland and are made in a factory
using turned wood for the shanks, usually beech but
sometimes other woods. If you want a stick that is
more regular in design then choose one of these -
but they obviously don't have the unique qualities
of a handmade stick and you don't have any choice
of materials or finishes.
If you wish to specify a
choice of wood for the handle and/or shank then
please email
first to check availability. Shanks are usually
hazel or chestnut for our handmade sticks, Please
select the kind of ferrule you need by ticking the
appropriate box when ordering. It is possible to
have a metal ferrule AND a rubber one to fit over
it, just tick both boxes. Brass or nickel silver
collars may be fitted on some of our sticks in
stock but most are built in during the making
processor can be requested when ordering.
We can make sticks for
"outsize" people - very tall, very heavy or very
short (we often make sticks for children) - if you
need to discuss any of this then please do so
before ordering - email

The
Regency (Hand
Made)
A handle you can really
hold!
Designed especially for
people who are a bit "unsteady" on their feet, this
type of stick is a help for anyone who wants real
support. The handle is very stylish and doesn't
look as if it came straight from a hospital ward.
The Regency has, in fact, become the most popular
of all the handle shapes we make. It feels really
comfortable and the design of the stick positions
the hand and arm directly above (and in line with)
the stick shaft, so all your weight is transmitted
directly to the ground. There is little or no
flexing or wobbling of the shank, as can happen
when the handle is offset to one side. If you want
to specify types of wood please discuss it first by
email.
We try to have a few of
these in stock - but it's not always possible -
each is still entirely handmade!
The addition of a collar
can strengthen the joint between handle and shank
and I would recommend you add one to your selection
if you will be putting a lot of weight on the
stick. If you would like to have a plain or
engraved collar fitted, go HERE

Hardwood
Crook (Hand
made)
Hardwood handle with the
nose turned outwards. Can be used short as a
walking stick (cane) or long like a hiking stick.
These do NOT make good working crooks for catching
sheep as the grain in the wood is always weak in at
least one place. Horn is a much stronger material
for working crooks, see the "Horn
stick"
page). If you want to specify types of wood
please discuss it first by email.

A note on correct stick length - stand up as
straight as you can and measure from the floor to
crease at the wrist joint. This allows the arm to
be locked straight when your full weight is applied
to the stick. It is best to get help when measuring
- if you do it yourself there is a tendency to
lower your shoulder as you look down and your stick
may then end up too short!
