Can anyone point me to where I can find country/field walking staffs for sale? The ones I have seen in various British publications look to be handy and practical. I have done the obvious goole search.

Thanks!

No, mine is hand made by a friend in my Sunday School class, it is perfect for me.
Has my initials and a carving of a snake in reference to the staff that Moses threw down.

He used Mesquite instead of Blackthorn

Make your own. Your grandchildren, or maybe some other heir, might appreciate it much more. I would.


May God bless America and those who defend her.

Check out treelineusa.com and/or Etsy for both walking sticks and blanks. Fairly easy to make one and Treeline has all the goods for finishing your own.

I have 5-6 laying around the house I've made over the years, using blanks I've cut from our property which include hawthorn, hazel nut, walnut, a few from Douglas fir, locust, heartnut and applewood and I don't remember what else. I've given away most I've made to friends and family. The freshly cut stems are easy to peel when wet and green, but they have a tendency to split or check, so I usually let them dry with the bark on before I peel them, after which I usually sand out any smaller branches I've cut off, smooth to the main stem and then finish it with an oil type of finish. I also drill a hole for the lanyard and may or may not epoxy on a sharp pre-fab spike with a rubber screw on cover to be used in various terrain types and ground cover. If I'm ambitious on a staff project and I usually am, I'll cut and shape an end cap, usually walnut and attach to the staff with a dowel and epoxy. I don't do fancy carvings or inlays.

I used to collect "Curlys sticks" to make walking sticks out of. Those are the saplings that grow up in a mass of vines and the vines wrapping around them causes them to grow in a spiral fashion. They were usually dog wood, sassafras. redbud or hickory. I wouidl collect them in the winter while hunting after a fresh snow. I could really see the curly trees stand out against the snow. I think I still have some blanks in the garage attic.
