Cut it longer than you want it and cut in in winter it's less prone to cracking then. Also the thickness is a factor. The thicker ones will crack alot also if you try to speed up the seasoning process it was crack badly
Hi I've seen you around years and subscribed awhile ago and heard you have even talked and purchased from other buyers. I'm just here to ask how you feel about the store old shillelagh stick makers?
I usually cut about 600/700 sticks myself each year and I get a few hundred blanks from 3 other stick makers who need the support. If I see anyone selling cheap blackthorn blanks it’s a no brainer. How do I feel about old shillelagh you ask , just they are a competitor and sell sticks far more expensive than I do. My shipping by courier is $35 , theirs is $50 according to website just had a look at. Liam is the biggest seller of blackthorn stocks and I’m the second biggest company in Ireland. If you want a stick only buy from registered businesses like mine or olde shillelagh
