Really enjoy your videos and am in love with your craft. Looking forward to ordering a nice walking stick from you soon and will be look for a slightly thicker than normal piece of Blackthorn for the base of a dull axe shaped forged handle I am crafting. Please keep the videos coming!
I've watched a lot of your videos about how to make a stick but nowhere to buy blank canes. I'm Irish but I want to make my own heavy walker. Can you help?
Do Blackthorn rootballs really tend to be harder than the rest? I've considered a root top but I'm not entirely convinced a small enough hickory or locust to try it with would be any stronger than a larger limb with less sapwood.
@@FrancisMcCaffrey5 Cool beans. I'm fascinated by Blackthorn and other "exotic" woods to my locale. Watching you work with Blackthorn is like an adult version of watching someone play a game I don't have 😆
Wow Francis!
All.that dirt, and hard blackthorn wood, I bet you kill saws very quickly!
Great video, thank you!
Take care

Yes root sticks are harder to find to Harvest and to work with and are the most highly sought after
