Rustic walking stick workshop

In this one day workshop you will make a rustic walking stick, you can make either a Antler thumb stick or a carved hiking stick.

Workshop

Choose your stick from a selection of Hazel provided and measure to size.

You can peel and scorch your hazel, whittle in a design or lightly sand the bark by hand to achieve your desired finish.

Once prepared you will then degrease and oil your stick.

The next step is to select your Antler, drill both the stick, Antler and a Buffalo Horn spacer.

You will also be adding a threaded bar to join everything together. Glue together using a resin based adhesive e.g. Araldite.

Once set you will shape the spacer to match the bottom of the handle and the stick.

The next step is to sand down the Antler and wax to finish.

Finally, you will fit a ferrule on the bottom of the stick.
