You maybe interested in a facebook site called hand carved walking sticks

There is a wide range of stickmakers there mostly English ones but the standard is very high

The stickmaking on it tends to be more refined but it does offer a wide rage of carvings from dogs horses etc .

The shanks usually are hazel and quite bit thinner than those used on here .with a lot of leg cleeks and market sticks

there is also a video on straightening sticks and some show sticks.

hope every one here is well and producitve
