A visit to the Woods

Silver birch wood is collected from the woods of Berkshire in England.  This is fallen wood from the previous winter’s storms

Sticks

The wood has to be selected to be the right diameter.  It is then left to dry out or ‘season’ for several months

Cut

The chosen stick is cut to a length of about 8 cm.  Some have rough bark, some smooth, some even have little branches of their own

Hollow

The little logs are then carefully hollowed out such that they don’t split and then the electronics are fitted

Smooth

A lot of sand paper is used to get the stick feeling nice and smooth removing splinters and rough edges

Wax

Bee's wax is now applied to the end of the stick to seal it and give a very smooth finish

Care

After purchase, the stick can be re waxed again if desired.  You should above all keep these little logs with jobs away from wood worm!
