Shepherd crook

Guys:
This maybe off topic, but I need to make a better shepherds crook.
Ones I
have purchased are worthless after about a year as the 'crook'
opens up and
makes it impossible to catch a goat (I raise meat goats).
The purchased variety are made of oak and seem to be steam bent.
My thoughts a
- Steam bend one myself. Would using green wood, maybe ash, make
the bend
more permanent?
- Make the bend with thin strips and epoxy (a laminate).
It would be rather straight forward to make one using knitted
fiberglass and epoxy.
