Get out and EXPLORE with this handmade hiking stick/ walking stick made from a 100+ year old reclaimed Kentucky tobacco stick! This one is named 'Bent Knee' for its patina, age and obvious hard bend. This stick was hand-split from a log over a century ago and used in agricultural production. It was capable of holding 4-5 green (wet) tobacco plants as they were hung to dry in the barn rafters. The stick is made from White Oak, which is known for its strength and durability. This stick was gently sanded and finished in multiple coats of a satin sheen oil based film finish to protect against moisture and scratches during your journey. This one measures around 50 1/2" x 7/8" x 1/2". It's not a true dimensional width, as the split stick is rectangular in shape and rounded/ tapered at both ends. The curvatures and bends in shape were created as the axe splitting it from the log, just gave and took what it wished. The wood features: bends, knotholes, cracks, chips and an aged dark brown color.. It is lightweight, yet extremely strong! Many choose to only display our handcrafted walking sticks in their homes and offices, but feel free to follow the paths of your elders or cut a new trail with your own handmade walking stick enriched with agricultural history! They were made to work! You will receive a 1 year warranty on craftmanship and complimentary refinish/ maintenance from time of purchase (buyer pays shipping).
*No rubber feet or boots are included with our walking sticks. The nicks and dings you collect on the bottom of the stick tell the story of your journey. Make it a good one!
