Hi fellow Arachnids,

Having used Malcolm; his work is excellent but expensive. He does a lot of 
one off work designed for a particular person or fitting a particular lace 
or other design to make a harmonious whole. He can also have the fan 
professionally mounted and or cased if that is required.


I have no connection to any of the fan stick makers, just a satisfied 
customer. Kleinhout's fan sticks are a little more flimsy, but very useful 
as they have no 'shoulders' and can therefore be used for different depths 
of fan-blade. Any ends that are too long can be carefully cut with kitchen 
scissors and sanded down. Stuart Johnson's fans are very well finished and 
he can do the fans without shoulders but only to a certain length. His fan 
sticks with shoulders are for particular fan patterns (which he sells as 
well)


No connection between me and any fan stick makers apart from being a 
satisfied customer.


Joepie, East Sussex where the sun is shining!!
