Turnalt Farm Walking Sticks


This is a page, which show some of the walking sticks that we previously made at Turnalt Farm. This kind of stick is used mainly by shepherds on hill sheep farms. The stick has a Hazel wood shaft and a handle that is made from a tup's horn.

The horn handle can be plain or decorated with a carved thistle or drawings of sheep, lambs or dogs.
