Up for your consideration is 1(one) custom made carved walking or hiking stick.Being an outdoorsman myself I have had many chances to hike through this beautiful county of ours and every time I have done it I have wanted to carry a staff or a stick for various reasons. Pacing, protection etc.This staff is made of solid Hard Rock Maple. Flexable yet strong, maple is a premier wood for such use.This staff is beautifly carved from top to bottom ,creating a wonderful hand hold anywhere you would like to hold it.The bottom end of the staff is all buisness with a chrome steel tip . The top end is finished with a solid stainless steel band . both top and bottm are epoxied and pinned in place The staff itself is hand carved and stained a beautiful Ebony. Then the top ridges are sanded of to reveal the natural wood. After that 4 coats of clear are used to bring it to a nice gloss shine.This staff is 1" in diameter ad 49 " long. It can easily be drilled for a lanyard if you wish.This is a wonderful stck so pick one up and enjoy the outdoors.
