Solid English Olive Crook Narrow Stick Handle Blank
Italian Olive wood (Olea europaea) is highly sought after for walking stick handle blanks due to its exceptional density, stunning aesthetics, and pleasant tactile feel. It provides a luxurious, functional balance between robust support and rich Mediterranean character.All wood used is UK sourced and UK grown.
All wood kiln, air dried or recycled. I cut a few blanks at a time. I look for grain and interesting patina.
Product Description
A 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.
How to use
Simple tools and a bit of work will soon have your handle ready to fit to a suitable shank.
I 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.
