It's often sought after for furniture, flooring, and decorative uses due to its character and beauty. Elm is also considered a soft hardwood and is highly workable, making it a favorite among woodworkers. All wood used is UK sourced and UK grown.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll wood kiln, air dried or recycled. I cut the blanks in batches. 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":"Country Walking Sticks","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58379622711645,"sku":"ELMMS","price":17.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0981\/6139\/4013\/files\/marketblank_63b54fb4-2e3e-463d-9a8a-f7bce6480fc8.png?v=1780405707","url":"https:\/\/www.thejackdawworkshop.com\/products\/solid-english-elm-market-stick-handle-blank","provider":"The Jackdaw Workshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
