Crooks

[davelumb]

Some carved and painted crooks/sticks I've seen have been a bit like a child made them. But these two caught my eye today. Fitting moorland subjects too.

[Kev Berry]

Like the hare best

[Duncan Holmes]

Lotof work gone in to those.

Stunning

[Jason Skilton]

Lovely...

[Freako]

Fantastic them Dave.

[Happy Hayes]

Both beautiful pieces of art
But it’s the Hare for me

[davelumb]

I'd guess they are both by the same stickmaker. I also like the hare best, but the curlew is a clever idea.

Not a stick. But this 'sheep' impressed me!

[Bob Watson]

An old boy that used to get in my local made them. His personal stick had a tench carving on the handle and I pestered him for it for ages.

Did you get the stick? Or is that a daft question?

[Bob Watson]

No, never got it, it was his favourite!

[davelumb]

What a miserable old scrote!

[Bob Watson]

I haven't been in the club for ages, I should have said "old local"!

I'd be surprised if he's still with us, so stop speaking ill of the dead

Probably too late for him to have put you in his will now!

He was one of the six on our table that played 5's and 3's.

I miss 5's and 3's

With a half of mild each and your whippets lying peacefully at your feet...

[Bob Watson]

Whippets were played for, after the wives

Sounds like twisted priorities there.

[Bob Watson]

A good whippet is hard to come by

[Carlperkins]

Wow
5s and 3s
Love that game.......and Crib

[davelumb]

Not the same quality as the hare and curlew, but another interesting stick.
