Starter Kits

All the parts you need to make complete sticks. These make great presents if you don't know where to begin yourself and are overwhelmed by all the items on the DIY pages!

Please note that we do not have made-up kits to post immediately. Unavailable at present

Each of the standard kits comes with basic instructions and you can be sure that all the parts are matched up. We now cut a peg on the top end of the shank and drilled a socket in the head/handle ready for gluing together.The blanks are roughly shaped so you still need to do a fair amount of work to get them finished. You can decide whether to leave the sticks 'natural' or oil or varnish them (no oil or varnish included).

I recommend the book: "TRADITIONAL STICKMAKING" by Charie Walker if you, or the person you are buying for, have never made sticks before.

The pictures below are there to show you what can be made with each kit - obviously your own tools and skill level will determine exactly how your stick finishes up! Wood types/colours will vary depending on stock.

Unfortunately we are unable to ship kits outside the UK.
