Curly Hazel or Curly Willow Branch (Glyne Gap TN40)
Have you got a dead branch or a tree that could spare a branch that would resemble the one pictured (once the leaves have gone). The ideal branch would be 3 to 4 foot tall and two foot wide at the top. If needed, I could bring loppers and a saw to remove the branch. It is wanted for indoor decor. Paul

Ergonomic Walking Stick for Left Hand (Glyne Gap TN40)
Expired
The handle makes use very comfortable with the left hand. May be especially appreciated by someone with arthritis. Height adjustable. Very sturdy yet light. The ferrule still has plenty of tread. The handle is very uncomforrtable for use with the right hand so not suited for alternate hand use. My wife found it a great help after her hip operation but no longer needs it.
