This twisted oat limb made a nice twisted cane, thought the ball handle would look good on it.

That's a great twisty. I don't think they get much better than that.

I second what Rodney said. That was a great find and has become really nice stick.

One problem I have with twisted sticks is cleaning out inside the twist. What do all of you use to do that?

 

[Rodney]

They don't grow here so I'm not sure how they do it.

That's a great looking stick. For cleaning out the twist, I use a ice pick and compressed air.

 

[Gloops]

Great Twisted stick, well done

They don't grow here so I'm not sure how they do it.

Twisty's are normally formed by Honesuckle or any climbing clinging vine growing round the sapling, as the sapling grows the vine bites in thus forming the twist - these can be created (in time) if you have any fast growing stock, viz. Hazel by finding a young shoot and creating the spiral using a reasonable gauge Copper Wire then just waiting, ps don't forget where it is as this happened to a friend of mine, wet back after a couple of years and couldn't find it.
