Enjoyable to watch .but I used to use a Zulu War Club a Knobkerry until I took to a wheelchair, but now I don't need a walking Stick But as of now it's the pleasure of watching programs like these as I am pretty much house bound now.

@FrancisMcCaffrey5 hi it's me donk, i made a quick video on my channel opening it up and my first impressions. It's very nice looking and feels great! At first I wanted it to be bigger and heavier, but after further consideration the thickness and weight seem perfect. Excellent work!

I have a blackthorn walking stick. It was cut by my grandfather on my birth. It and I are now 68 years old. He used to fit a small funnel on to the end, fill that with oil and then it was stood in the corner of the kitchen. He always had a selection curing.

My McCaffery stick is with me always! I refused to use some Walmart old man cane. The day I found this guy I ordered. It’s excellent and doesn’t mind some pressure. I’m going to order a second one soon!

@artawhirler 3 месяца назад

This is one of the most interesting videos you've ever done, Francis! Thanks so much for showing us the whole process! I just have one question: how did the tradition of painting them black get started? Is it to imitate the look of hanging them up in the chimney, as I've heard they used to do back in the "old days" or is there another reason for it?

@FrancisMcCaffrey5 3 месяца назад

Black was just a style thing when the bark didn’t look too good after seasoning looks better painted black.

@davidwhiren817 3 месяца назад

lad , it is with things such as this & the Faction fight histories , along with the weight that your name carries with it , that are going to make you & your business an institution !!!

@ianlongmore6898 3 месяца назад

Great channel, great videos. A question if I may, I've been given a blackthorn as a presentation however it's just not straight, I mean way out, it's painted and varnished, would I be able to straighten it still?

@FrancisMcCaffrey5 3 месяца назад

You can straighten it but it you will wear off the finish as you do it

@stegmonjurvinweirdt1834 3 месяца назад
