Hello Terry,we call a "crook" a "cromach" in this part of the world.Stick making or stick dressing is quite a popular hobby in the UK and there are several quite serious competitions that take place during the year to gain various accollades.Stick making used to be almost the preserve of the Game Keepers,stalkers,sheepherds, etc.,that used to make the sticks during the dark winter months to earn a few extra pennies.Or,in my case, a very special 21st birthday gift.
I am surprised that you practical chaps have not caught the stick making bug,there are plenty of books,videos,DVDs on the subject.
