Geoff Moss - How to make a walking stick 25 June 2009

Geoff Moss came along today and gave a magnificent demonstration of how he makes walking sticks using simple tools, lots of patience, limited working space and much ingenuity.

They are made from New Zealand native timbers with animal horn handles and paua inlays.

He has a collection of more than 100 sticks, many of which he has acquired worldwide. His craft result is used by Prime Ministers and Ambassadors!

Look at the slideshow in the left column. An enlargement of the slideshow can be viewed here. Just click Slideshow at the top left of that page.

Geoff has agreed to return and run workshops for members, so watch this space. The remainder of the meeting time was used to work through the agenda below. Jobs were allocated to manage a number of areas noted. Further details will be posted as they come to hand.

What we want you to do now is advise us at menzshedwgtn@gmail.com of what:

• skills - hobby, craft or otherwise you can offer
• you would like to learn
• tools you can donate
• hobby books or magazines for our library
