I have plans to make a Shepherds crook, but have a hard time finding a suitable shaft.
Does any of you have an adress to share with me.
I am looking for something like hazelwood, chestnut or similar.
You might be able to just use straight grained hard wood (cherry, hickory, walnut, or some exotic wood) and build it in sections using couplings like the ones they use for walking/hiking sticks. http://www.woodturnerscatalog.com/s...ks___Walking_Stick_Kit___walking_sticks?Args=
It would also be easier to transport if it could be taken down to shorter lengths.
