As per the title, I've been making blackthorn walking sticks and shillelagh's recently. My grandfather used to make them and I decides to do it in his honour.
I harvested a pile of Blackthorn about 2 years ago and have straightened out quite a few of them.
The shank is filed beneath the collar, and a long screw is in situ about 3 inches down the shank and 1.5 inches into the antler. Epoxy'd also for extra sturdiness.
Some matt varnish over both the shank and handle, about 2 coats. Will give it 2 or 3 more as I love the matt finish.
I'm born and bred in Ireland, and there isn't many shillelagh makers locally (I'm in the west) so I thought why not.
Let me know what you guys think, thanks.
