Walkingstick ferrules

[kenkew]

Not really a swap but you never know!
One of my hobbies is making walkingsticks. I have searched all over my part of the world for ferrules. (the metal bit at the end of walkingsticks) without success. Anyone know a contact for these?

Over the Border here they have almost everything....if not maybe Free
Advice worth a Try ???

That's a thought, Mike, thanks. I did come across some in Antwerp but they wanted â,¬3.5 each for them. Adds too much to the finished article.

Have you tried eBay? Looks like there's quite a few sellers selling those on the UK site, at least..

Just my 2p. :)

I'll put a bit of my whittling and stick efforts efforts in the 'Shed section'.

I'll ask my old boss. His Dad makes walking sticks too, so he might know.
