Character in every cut
Each head begins as a block of wood. Painting and pyrography bring out the fine detail before a protective lacquer finishes the piece.

COUNTRY STICKS · EST. 2010THE HANDS BEHIND THE CARVING
Country Sticks began with a gamekeeper and a winter hobby. In February 2010, Mark turned his growing passion for wood carving into his livelihood.
Today, every piece is still carved by Mark himself. From a simple block of wood to the finest feather or a familiar expression, it’s a patient process that gives each carving its own character.
Let’s make something personal ↗THOUGHTFULLY MADE, DOWN TO THE LAST DETAIL
Each head begins as a block of wood. Painting and pyrography bring out the fine detail before a protective lacquer finishes the piece.
Usually mounted on a straightened hazel shank with a brass collar and ferrule. Ask about chestnut, ash or a particular length.
Add initials to the carving or an engraved brass collar. Please request engraving when ordering, before the stick is completed.
Email Mark with the animal or sculpture you have in mind, reference photographs and any personalisation. He’ll confirm the details, price and current waiting time.
Birds from £319, dogs from £399. An engraved collar is an additional £20. Ask Mark for a quote for your exact piece and delivery.
Most pieces are made to order, and waiting times vary. Please ask Mark for the current time frame. He may also have a suitable piece in stock.
Yes. Send clear photographs for reference. Every carving is an individual interpretation, so a likeness is the aim rather than an exact copy.
