New Stick

Way back in May of last year I posted about some Shilleleghs I got, well can you believe its this long since I got a new one, this time courtesy of my uncle Paul, a carpenter that lives way out in the middle of nowhere.
This beauty is made from Hazel, dried and treated over a year and a half and finished with a piece of deer antler. He dowels the stick and antler uses some type of glue to fix them permanently, he did tell me what it was but I forget, all I can remember is him saying he has ten seconds to get it perfect or the glue will set.

 Its a good tall stick, so perfect for me. I know this isnt my usual post, but I just love sticks...
