Blackthorn Walking Sticks

JACK DOUGLAS had a life long interest in and fondness for wood and trees which led naturally to the publication of this little book, particularly in the light of his investigation and ultimately the perfection of a method of straightening the notoriously knobbly Blackthorn into walking sticks of character. The methods he describes in this book can of course be applied to straightening other types of wood.In addition the book deals with the lore of Blackthorn and while strictly not a botanical treatise, the book is intended for a wide readership; for the generally interested, for the naturalist and for the country craftsman, whose interests are his craft and his raw materials.
