Solid English Holly Market Stick Handle Blank

English holly wood is a good choice for walking stick handles as well as stick shafts. Holly is a strong, hard wood that can be used to create durable and attractive walking sticks. Its white color allows for staining and polishing, and it can also be used to make other items like furniture and engraving work. 

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.
