Each piece begins with blackthorn, patiently harvested and dried before being shaped and lacquered - a process that can take two years or more. Albert then finishes his work with details in cattle bone or sheep horn or sometimes an old coin, added as a quiet nod to good luck. Albert lives and works by The Bridges of Ross, County Clare.
For details on the selection of blackthorn sticks, thumb sticks, and shillelaghs currently available in the shop, please contact hannah@clan.studio.
