Wanted: Blackthorn Trees for Walking Sticks

WANTED: Blackthorn Wood Okay, so I admit my request is weird. Let's get that out of the way. I like making blackthorn walking sticks (commonly known as the Irish Shillelagh), but I need wood. I am offering to come to your property to remove blackthorn trees so that I can harvest the blackthorn wood for making walking sticks. I will do this for free because I want the wood. So all I need from you is permission to go on your property to remove part or all of your blackthorn tree(s). Maybe you only want the tree trimmed a bit. I am fine with that too. I just need some of the wood that is suitable for walking sticks. I am even willing to come do this during the winter, because winter is traditionally the best time of year to harvest blackthorn. Some people make jam out of the blackthorn berries (sloe berries), so if you want the berries you can keep them. (Although they're only ripe in November/December typically, and they're very tart so you need to add extra sugar to combat the tartness.)
