Thread: NZ Wood for Chisel Handle

Here's a bit of hawthorne I made into a walking stick. I was chopping up some of the neighbour's old hawthorne trees, some up to ~350mm trunk. In a thicket, one had fallen over at some stage and one branch had put up some shoots up to about 35mm diam. I immediately recognised they would make good walking sticks as they're strong for their weight and the grain direction was ideal for a handle



Gave a couple away to folks who could use them
