Cut at an angle. Naturally, not at an angle that can easily be marked on a stick. I am unwilling to muck around with the handle, so the adjustments to make the stick fit are by the tiniest hand carved increments.

What’s the best practice for lap joints? I did one last night and it’s embarrassing how “out” it is

Achieved a better degree of fit than I thought I was capable of on the c1900 rams horn crook, without losing a mm of bark from the hazel. Finish is linseed oil, which was traditional when it was first made.

When I’m too old to walk upright, I’m coming to you for a stick

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

> Quote text by starting lines with >

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```
Your code goes here
```
Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.

If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
