Antler Thumb Sticks For Sale

Posted on October 9, 2019 by marklordphoto

One of the most popular sticks I supply, the good old red deer antler thumb stick! I have several here in stock but these are the finest of them all looking pretty, photographed and looking for a new home. Red deer shed their antlers annually and I have a supplier who collects it from a couple of estates in the Highlands of Scotland.

All sticks are made from natural products and will show slight imperfections adding to their charm and individuality.

All sticks can be shortened and once sold will be fitted with a brass ferrule before shipping. UK postage and packaging is £20 and Europe £50 – I do not send to USA or Australia

Payment by cash, BACS or cheque.

I am based in South Oxfordshire and welcome enquiries by appointment only.
