From time to time I get the urge to stretch a little and make something
that tickles my fancy. Perhaps some of these walking sticks will tickle
yours. I've usually got a selection of them sitting around the house, and
may even have one or two of these available for sale to a good home.
Check out the pages below for an explanation of what, why and how-in-the-world. Most of these sticks are 36" and have no
tip so that they can be cut down to the correct size. Some are tapered,
the shaft being 1 inch (25mm) at the grip, and tapering to 3/4 inch (19mm)
at the tip. Others are 3/4 inch for the whole length. One thing is certain,
you aren't going to find these sticks anywhere else.
