The Laminated Hardwood Walnut/Maple Walking Stick is the result of intensive labor and meticulous attention to detail. This head-turning staff is one of our finest -- a gem for collectors, and a stout walking aid for serious hikers. To create this labor-intensive jewel, our craftsmen laminate five boards together (three walnut boards and two maple boards), each piece is then meticulously cut to shape, worked on a router, and sanded to a finished perfection. Finally, each walking stick is sprayed with a protective clear coat lacquer. The final product is a walking stick that's truly a functional piece of art, possessing both utility and aesthetic beauty. This handcrafted walking stick is available in three convenient sizes: 48-inches, 55-inches, and 58-inches. The Laminated Hardwood Walnut/Maple Walking Stick comes with a standard rubber ferrule for a firm, secure grip on virtually any surface. For serious hiking, the rubber ferrule can also be upgraded to a spike ferrule, combination spike ferrule, or our top-of-the-line Lee Valley Spike, per your choice. Each staff can be personalized with custom laser engraving, making a walking stick that is uniquely yours. Further customizations include an attractive pewter star and a Texas State Seal.Like all of our finely crafted walking sticks and canes, this walking stick is made in the USA by our skilled craftsmen using the highest quality wood and time-tested methods.
