We try to keep a few of
these sticks in stock but it is not always
possible. If we have to make one you may have to
wait a few weeks.
|
Unless
we have them in stock you will need to
order a stick and wait for us to make it
for you - we show if sticks are in stock
below.

We like to use
interesting and unusual woods for the handles of
the Regency, Derby, Market Stick and Crook types.
Typically we would use something from the following
list: Elm, Sycamore, Cherry, Walnut, Beech, Alder,
Ash, Oak, Rosewood and Mahogany - but if we see
something we like we will try it. As each of these
sticks is handmade, no two are identical.
Occasionally we are asked to make a pair of sticks
and we can try to make them as similar as
possible.
If you wish to specify a
choice of wood for the handle and/or shank then
please email
first to check availability. Shanks are usually
hazel, chestnut or ash but we do use other woods,
please select the kind of ferrule you need by
ticking the appropriate box when ordering. It is
possible to have a metal ferrule AND a rubber one
to fit over it. Brass or nickel silver collars may
be fitted on some of our sticks in stock or can be
requested when ordering.
We can make sticks for
"outsize" people - very tall, very heavy or very
short (we often make sticks for children) - if you
need to discuss any of this then please do so
before ordering - email

The
Regency
A handle you can really
hold!
Designed especially for
people who are a bit "unsteady" on their feet, this
type of stick is a help for anyone who wants real
support. The handle is very stylish and doesn't
look as if it came straight from a hospital ward.
The Regency has, in fact, become the most popular
of all the handle shapes we make. It feels really
comfortable and the design of the stick positions
the hand and arm directly above (and in line with)
the stick shaft, so all your weight is transmitted
directly to the ground. There is little or no
flexing or wobbling of the shank, as can happen
when the handle is offset to one side. If you want
to specify types of wood please discuss it first by
email.
We try to have a few of
these in stock - but it's not always possible -
each is still entirely handmade!
The addition of a collar
can strengthen the joint between handle and shank
and I would recommend you add one to your selection
if you will be putting a lot of weight on the
stick. If you would like to have a plain or
engraved collar fitted, go HERE

Crutch
Stick
(Factory made) price £24
Similar in style to
the Regency but only up to 34" long and with a
smaller handle so "generally" only suited to
someone of smaller build.

in stock.
These are bought in so
don't take us as long to have ready as the Regency
- hence a lower price and we usually have one in
stock or can have one ready within a few
weeks.

Derby
Stick
(Hand made) price £60

-4 weeks average delivery time
Similar in style to the
Regency but with the handle extended into a curl,
allowing it to hang
over the arm of the user when not actually in use.
Made by ourselves so we can make length pretty much
as you want it from your selected materials - if
required. If you want to specify types of wood
please discuss it first by email.
The addition of a collar
can strengthen the joint between handle and shank
and I would recommend you add one to your selection

Malacca Cane
(also known as Rattan or Manila )
A one-piece cane
stick that is very light in weight and very
flexible. Not suited for a lot of weight-bearing
use but is ok as an occasional stick or as a spare
to keep in the car - or for a child to use. I have
farming friends who say they are a perfect size for
catching young lambs and are short enough for use
inside buildings.

Hardwood
Crook (Hand
made)
Hardwood handle with the
nose turned outwards. Can be used short as a
walking stick (cane) or long like a hiking stick.
These do NOT make good working crooks for catching
sheep as the grain in the wood is always weak in at
least one place. Horn is a much stronger material
for working crooks, see the "Horn
stick"
page). If you want to specify types of wood
please discuss it first by email.

A note on correct stick length - stand up as
straight as you can and measure from the floor to
crease at the wrist joint. This allows the arm to
be locked straight when your full weight is applied
to the stick. It is best to get help when measuring
- if you do it yourself there is a tendency to
lower your shoulder as you look down and your stick
may then end up too short!
