Well it looks like I'll be buying a hurley then!

Them dirty sneaky Germans 

[Sorcerers Apprentice]

If anyone missed the Aldi sale, Heatons have kids hurleys at around €15

I know i spelled Chulainn wrong, and I also know that Brú is irish for hostel, but this was the most pleasing to the eye.
Introducing BrúChulann, 28 inches of mashtun stirring greatness.
Hand crafted from fabled wood of the far away land of Aldi.

You've got an eye for design LE. That looks very cool alright. I love the way you made a hurley look symmetrical. This deserves an afro smiley

[LordEoin]

It was an enjoyable little project

[Kevin O'Roundwood]

I thought I'd resurrect this thread and add me own effort to the lot. As the never-ending road to my All Grain set-up stretches toward infinity on the horizon I decided to whittle me up an obtainable short-term goal. Made from Wicklow Sycamore, French Oak and whatever shitewood the Woodie's dowels are made from (plane maybe?)...

Unfortunately she has a while to wait beforeshe can taste her first mash

Note-to-self: Make the next one out of ash. Then I could call it the Ash Masher!

Do they need treated to be used for mashing?

[LordEoin]

No. the good thing about hurleys is that they're not treated or oiled.
Leave them raw.

[bigvalen]

Heh. I made a ludicrously large one a few years back, from a lump of ash I'd left over after building a giant tent-frame.

Looks like it'll work nicely with the new 65l mash tun
