I'll be honest with you now mate and say that i don't know when i can get the time at the moment to sort this out, the two blackthorn sticks in the original pics are the only two i have, they will be the second and third blackthorns i have made (getting sort of sentimental about them!) what i may be able to do is send you some links for good stout blackthorn canes, there are only a few people making proper ones as the wood takes soooo long (up to two years) to season! i wrongly thought mine would be quicker but still reckon i wont be able to work seriously on them for quite some time as the good stick wood is like gold dust and want it done proper!
sorry to get your hopes up, guess i got excited by the challenge! if i could do it full time i would but unfortunately thats not possible for me!
