Usually cromachs are made with the head shaped from a ram's horn, which requires boiling the horn and some other techniques unknown to me; but there are cromach's that are made entirely from wood, and I believe that these are often made by digging up a portion of the root and carving it into the head of the stick. There are also very simple ones made by bending the branch using heat and steam. Stick carving is an artform unto itself, and there are competitions in stick-making throughout the U.K.
