  1. Old Crafts - Stick Heads

    Share Share Post
    Sticks heads.
    A rams horn is got and boiled in a pot of water for about two hours.
    It is taken out and twisted while hot into any shape required.
    This head is fitted to a hazel stick and secured with glue.
    In this way a very good walking stick is made.
