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 but we will always
tell you if your wait is likely to be more than two weeks.
Unless
we have them in stock you will need to order a
stick and wait for us to make it for
you. If you prefer to buy Gift Vouchers for a friend to spend for themselves then click the link. We like to use interesting and unusual woods for the handles of the Market Stick, Crook and Regency types. Typically we would use something from the following list: Elm, Sycamore, Cherry, Walnut, Beech, Alder, Ash, Oak 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 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 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 here If you would like to have a plain or engraved collar fitted, go HERE |

CrookHardwood handle with the nose turned outwards. Can be used short as a 'proper' 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).

The RegencyA handle you can really hold! Designed especially for people who are a bit "wobbly" on their feet, this type of stick is a MUST 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. 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 no flexing or wobbling of the shank, as can happen when the handle is offset to one side. These sticks have to be handled to be really appreciated and the comments I get from customers in my shop lead me to believe that these are the most comfortable sticks around. If you have to rely on a stick and want style and comfort - look no further! We normally have a few of these in stock - as they are so popular we make lots of them - but each is still 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 Regency price £45 Usually several in stock, 2 -4 week wait if we need to make one

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! |
