This is a definition of a woodland stalking pole well new to me,
Reading the stickmakers magazine it gives some guide to sizes of some sticks and gives the definition of a woodland stalking pole to be as tall as the person using them?
I havn`t come across this before.
It also gives the mesurements of a shepards crook a bit old fashioned in its decsription it goes like this
mouth should be about 4 fingers widethis varies according to hand size. this translates as the mouth of the crook between 75mm and 90mmm(3 and 3.5 inches)The gape is traditionally to be 4 fingers wide which allowing for differences converts to 89mm (3.5 inches
not to sure i understand this but it is as printed?
The leg cleek
mouth equal to a old english half penny widening out into a space the maximum width of a old english penny.length is in proportion usually about 4 inches .An old penny is generally guide to mouth width .Mouth is equal to a old halpenny 25 mm for lambs and 31mm for adults mouth is 27mm(1 1/16 inchwidening to 1 1/4 inch .)
Walker/market stick
the mouth must be wide enought to go over the wrist
there is more as this is now 2015 you would think the description would be clearer but this is as in this mths article called back to basics
it does state however that there is a lot of variation depending on the judges tastes and prefrances so there isnt a clear desicive out line to work to. i just get my guide verbally from the guy who won the british championship.
