Get out and EXPLORE with this handmade hiking stick/ walking stick made from a 100+ year old reclaimed Kentucky tobacco stick! 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 piece was gently sanded, stained a dark espresso/ walnut color and finished in multiple coats of a poly film finish to protect against moisture and scratches during your journey. This one measures around 53 3/4" x 1" x 1/2". It's not a true 1 to 1 dimension, as the split stick has some portions that are rectangular, round and square. 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: curvatures and bends. The contact point is narrower/skinny, but it is extremely strong (hence the name 'Tough Gal').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!
