Review for a Blackthorn Walking-Stick made by Irish Shillelaghs Rhine-Valley (André Büdesheim). If you want to get in contact with the stickmaker, check out the Irish Stick Group on Facebook.
Really interesting video. Here where I live in England, it's quite easy to find straight blackthorn trunks with nice root balls too. I've just dug a few and they're drying for two years.
Well, we Germans are known for our craftsmanship, so German Blackthorn/Shillelaghs is good for me. On a more serious note, I already had sticks from three different makers from Ireland and I have to say, they were all very good, but the ones made by Andre Buedesheim in Germany are the absolute best, period.
@@tuerkefechi I agree, German craftsmanship is superior in many ways, my ancestors The Holtzclaus' were amazing craftsmen. Why not be proud of a product of Germany and sell it as such. It may be superior, it may be "Irish" Style, all I'm saying is it still isn't from IRELAND.
@@JeremyDuncan1985 Well, we are very proud to present these wonderful Blackthorn Walking Sticks made in the Rhine-Valley, made from Blackthorn (and other woods). The inspiration comes from the Irish Sticks of course and in style it is an Irish Shillelagh made in Germany.
