Produced using the coppicing method, these sticks are formed from the shoot that grows when the upper part of a young tree (usually ash or hazel) is removed. Occasionally, these shoots fork to produce the distinctive thumbstick shape; the stick should be grasped around the neck, with the user's thumb resting in the 'V' formed by the shoots. Fitted with a non-slip rubber ferrule. Height approximately 100cm (39.5") (this stick can easily be shortened if necessary). Item weight is approximately 410g. Show more
