| Apple tree. If it has apples on it this time of year then its a big clue that its an apple tree and that wood when cleaned and baked it safe. |

Thanks guys, yeah I forgot about apple trees, I dont want to fork out a fotune for a lil stick when there are plenty lying around in the parks ect, that I could tailor more to my specs.
any other types? I know oak is good but i wouldnt be able to tell what one looks like lol although i do remember that they are huge trees |

all the wood in my vivs i have got from my local woods. i searched around for bits of fallen wood that were not near any fern/pine type trees then removed the bark, sanded down then baked in the oven on 100 for about an hour(longer if its really thick) or if it wont fit in the oven you can soak it in 10% bleach and water for a day then rinse and soak in water for a day an leave to dry for a week or 2.
i agree why pay £20+ for a stick when its free from the woods/park |
