  1. I have used a shear to do the thinning. Brilliant for brambles or put lieing blackthorn.
  2. Nice work and a nice office! In places that looks very Devon style, your welsh styles tend to be higher and thicker than the Devon. In devon on a bank, the hedge is laid to enhance the bank, the bank being the main stock proof part.
  3. I apologise, I blew the photo up and what I thought was strong was a thin branch on a loop with the sun shining on it But I couldn't see any crooks !
  4. Do I see bale string?
  5. Another question on Borax, does it kill woodworm that are in the wood or does it solely protect from infection? TIA
  6. The last one in the op is the red painted one from the first picture, Bulldog brand, not sure what style they call it, the differences are so subtle. My feeling is that a painted hook will be poor but it feels nice. Not had a chance to use it.
  7. I was impressed you could say it was a bulldog brand, was it the bolt through or the tightening collar? It is very much abused!
  8. How do you know? I think you are right but it is very rusty and the makers name may not survive cleaning.
  9. Another day, another handle.
  10. Big fan of Steve, national champ Devon style last year and reserve supreme champ. Really passionate and an excellent teacher
  11. Not cleaned the top left yet so not sure of the maker. Clockwise from top, Elwell Yorkshire with handle by Elwell, red is Bulldog, then biped, elwell slasher , WS? , Skelton.
  12. Bang on, had a rubber handle "tested to 20000 volts"! Made by Elwell
  13. Possible but not it's primary use.
  14. I felt it was something to do with sowing, I can see how it could bundle up the thatch.
  15. No cutting edge, appears to be a needle end
