A Spar Hook is a smaller version of a billhook. A spar hook was traditionally used in thatching for splitting hazel or willow thatching spars; a thatching spar is effectively a giant staple placed in the thatching to grip the thatching to the roof. A spar hook is often used as a lighter version of a billhook for smaller coppicing and gardening work. A spar hook can also be used for managing crops such as grape vines.Made by W Gilpin of Wedges Mills in Cannock
