Thanks Richard for the letter 

Thanks to all for the kind comments.

What a nice letter! I'm glad you could help restore his family tradition and he can embrace his heritage! He chose the right stick maker! 👏

Nice letter and spot on .

See their is hate and jealous in the world but there is a lot more Love !! Great Letter to a great stick maker

I also have a 33 inch blackthorn walking stick from Francis, and I can recommend his work to anyone interested in this sort of thing!
