“Star Hurley, or Dowling hurls as it is commonly known as in Kilkenny, is recognised as Ireland’s leading hurl due to the time that is put into each hurl to ensure that the hurl that is placed in each customer’s hand is of the highest quality and to the specifications outlined by each customer. Today each hurl is finished as Ramie would have in 1963 using hand planes and spokeshaves, some of which were used by Ramie himself.”
