Home made cromach
Ok I don't have any photo's to post yet but I'm working on that. I'm building a Stag horn cromach for myself. The wood for the shaft and the Stag horn came from my own property.
I'm using a nice hickory sapling for the shaft. I know blackthorn or hazel are the customary wood of choice, but here in the states we do not have those and I'm limited to what I have on my property. Hickory being the hardest wood I have thats what I'll use.
The stag horn I'm using I found while burning brush on my land. It had seven points but I've since cut off three of the tines. One of the tines was forked so I'm going to use that in another staff. probably a hunting staff so the horn fork can be used as a rifle rest.
As soon as I have photo's I'll post my progress.
As of now I'm shaping the horn and I have the hickory shaft lashed to a steel frame to dry straight.
