Tim's walking sticks


A year and a half ago, Tim cut down several small buckthorn trees and saved the trunks to allow them to dry.

This winter, he bought a whittling kit and gave them a very close shave.



He carved out the letters and then used a woodburning iron to make them noticeable. 


Once he'd finished two of the three, he and Mark used them for their reenactment of Robin Hood and Little Hood.


 
 Tim says it's his 'buckthorn-and-a-quarter quarter staff."


And here's Men in Tights with quarter staffs



 Enjoy!
