Oh I do like those. Right now I am seasoning a walking cane from a perfectly shaped branch that I found while out shooting. Methinks I absolutely must have a go at these lovely natural looking bank sticks next. B****r! Now I can't look at my split cane sticks without feeling pretentious....

Yeah really, no problem at all, would be a pleasure SK. Just catching up on past requests having moved to our new cottage last December and am now in the Zone so to speak, just PM me your address and I will endeavour to get on with some next week......can't promise you'll have them for the "start" though if that's ok?

Those are lovely. I've made two to use tomorrow, hopefully pictures and a write up of tomorrow's trip will be on my journal tomorrow night....fingers crossed it's worth writing about. :Thumb:

God never did make a more calm, quiet, innocent recreation than angling.

I would have posted these before but I got locked out of my email account and only just been able to sort it out. Sorry Dan. :Hat:

Another couple of super-dooper RBT banksticks, well used but still going strong and a lovely thumbstick he kindly made me which as well as being very useful also has a certain memory jogging look about it when viewed upside down, I cant seem to remember her name as it was a long time ago but I do remember her being very generous. :Chuckle:
Thanks again Rob, I love em all mate.
Wal.
