Solid English Yew Hiker Stick Handle Blank

English Yew Wood, sourced from the ancient Yew trees native to the United Kingdom and other parts of Europe, is a highly prized hardwood renowned for its distinctive beauty and remarkable properties. Yew trees, often found in historical churchyards and old forests, produce wood with a striking range of colours, from creamy sapwood to rich, reddish-brown heartwood, often with intricate grain patterns and dark streaks. 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.
