This is not a Crook, the handle is the wrong shape. I have left it at 'Crook Length' as it has a beautiful Shank of 'Bold' Crab Apple and it seemed a shame to cut it! This new stick has a handle made from a Ram's Horn Curl joined through a Buffalo Horn spacer to a shank of 'Stout' Crab Apple. This has been straightened using steam. The handle has been finished with Wax, and the shank with Linseed Oil to protect it from the elements. This lovely stick still retains it's rural character. The full length of the stick is 52.25" 133cm. It would be a wonderful companion for those long walks in the hills, or as a conversation piece in your stick stand. I can shorten it if required fitting a new brass or rubber ferrule, at no extra charge. 'wilstonesticks' are Country Sticks, not like the manufactured ones you might buy in in a shop. I try and maintain a comprehensive stock of 200 quality sticks which always prove popular at Country Shows. Creating a stick handle from a horn necessitates a considerable degree of skill, and a great deal of time and patience. Horns need to be heated, carved and shaped every step of the way, and they are notorious for 'doing their own thing' . Being a recycled natural product, they often have minor imperfections and irregularities that may still be evident in the finished article. In my opinion this just adds to their individuality and charm. Please visit my E Bay shop for other individual Sticks at reasonable prices J1050
