18 pence for 1,000 spars

In the old days

 

Marty South was making them part time in the evenings after a full day working in the woods, just to make ends meet. Not much change there. She probably wouldn't have had to pay for her gads either.

 

The way I see spar making, there's no living in it, but if you've got a supply of gads, maybe as a by-product from other work, it's something you can do as a fall back as and when, indoors in the dry. If you know how to make a good spar you need never be rained off again.
