Coates : Tree Stick Charcoal : 1 Stick

Coates have been making charcoal in the traditional manner since 1819. The intense blackness of natural willow charcoal makes it a perfect drawing tool and has been used by artists for centuries.

Tree sticks are made from two year old willow rods. These very chunky sticks are great for really large drawings and are strong enough to use on all kinds of surfaces.

Please be aware that willow charcoal is a completely natural product made simply from the willow. Therefore the sizes of the charcoal sticks are approximate measurements, one end of the charcoal stick will differ in size to the other end.

Look very carefully at a stick of willow charcoal and you will see the marks where the leaves have been removed from the willow stick and also the soft central pith at the core of the stick.

Available in the following sizes:

Jumbo 16-24mm
Extra Thick 12-14mm
Scenic 8-12mm
Thick 7-9mm
Medium 4-6mm
Thin 2-3mm
