A good evening at the stick club last night, one of our older members brought in a stick he had made for a retired yorkshire Miner, thought it would be a nice share for this group.

The brass encapsulated item is Davy Safety Lamp, the encapsulation is done using clear cold cast resin as is the NUM (National Union of Miners) badge in the coronet.

Thanks Gloops! I like seeing sticks with a theme like that.

Great looking stick!
The local gave me a pin with our logo and my 35 years of service on it, might make for nice inlay on a stick. Right now it just sits in a box with my tie tacks.......

Hi Friend,

Please let your Friend know he did a beautiful job on the cane! Question for you, I use different color nylon cords for the canes. I'd be interested

in where I would be able to get that type of cord and device!

Cheers Mate,

Jerry

a nice find by Paul daunt a near perfect thumbstick by the looks of it, a rare find

 

[dww2]

Fantastic color (sorry, I meant colour) on that one. Should be a prize winner in competition.

 

[Rodney]

That would be rare. A long straight clear section with a nearly perfect fork at the top. I don't think that happens often even where straight hazel is available.

Lovely sticks, Gentlemen. If I can get to something approaching halfway good as those, I'll be over the moon.
