Description

Wooden shoulder stick with an edge iron on one end. The edge iron is 1 1/8" wide with two steps on either side with a shared central step 1/8" wide and 11/16" high. The shared step is also cut down leaving a small square at the center of its top length. Three of the irons four sides have a line cut into them. The four sides taper toward the center of the stick with the top and bottom growing exponentially. The edges of the point where these two sides meet are rounded off. Similar lines which surround the edge iron are cut on the two flat sides of the shoulder stick.
