It is highly prized by carvers and stickmakers for its dense, closed grain, high strength, and beautiful color.. All wood used is UK grown and UK sourced.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll wood kiln, air dried or recycled. I cut a few blanks at a time. I look for grain and interesting patina.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Description\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA crafted handle blank made from natural wood enabling the buyer to finish. Each handle is finished 'over sized' to allow for waste material to be removed and attach to a shank up to an inch and a quarter in thickness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow to use\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSimple tools and a bit of work will soon have your handle ready to fit to a suitable shank.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI recommend and use a traditional peg and socket joint. I do not recommend or use threaded rods. Wood is a natural material and should be allowed to move and flex. Using a threaded rod does not allow natural movement of the wood therefore is liable to cause breakout.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Jackdaw Workshop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":64998246875485,"sku":"APPLELST","price":15.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0981\/6139\/4013\/files\/lyreblank_5296b978-be3a-4d3a-85ff-7485d261b4bf.png?v=1780255258","url":"https:\/\/www.thejackdawworkshop.com\/products\/solid-english-acacia-lyre-shaped-thumb-stick-handle-blank-copy","provider":"The Jackdaw Workshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
