Hi Lew,
it seems by the pictures you posted that the grain of the wood 'follows' the curve of the club..... this I believe would make it stronger and more resillient. I was wondering whether suitable trees are 'coppiced' to create the desired shape. Coppicing is an old practice which involves cutting a tree down, but leaving a 'live' stump....this then produces 'shoots' ....which for a number of trees produces similarly shaped branches to your club. Regards David . |
