Here is one of my favorite light weight sticks. Made from carbon fiber golf club and aluminum garden shovel. It started life 3 inches longer than it is now.
I always heat and put a bend in one because a lot of the time I will just flip chips and brakes up and catch them. What can I say I am getting older and I am fat.

That’s a good looking stick right there. When I get home I will post some of my other sticks.

This a collector grade 1951 larson special!
Made for me by our late great Steve B. From North Dakota.
he knew I used to live In Hawaii and here he showed his incredible thoughtfulness in choosing the materials for this one.
He sent me three, one I gave to a property owner, another I used till I shortened it. And this collector grade stick. They were all very well made I must add.

This is a beautiful piece. To nice to use, so like the majority it seems, I just use an old golf club with the head knocked off.

i bet there are a few other Larson flipping sticks around here.

Not so much a “flipping stick” but a hunting tool used for river hunting.
Its design has evolved over a 50 year time period.

Careful or you’ll put an eye out with that thing!

Sorry just yesterday got mom back home from hospital. Hopefully that’s over for a while now. Here is my favorite blade for wooden sticks broke stick a little while back. I always find one that has a flat spot below the handle dermal out shape of some small point found recently. Then set point in stick clear epoxy over it. I will find some pictures of past ones and post after while. Here is blade though.
