60" Kiln Dried Hiking Stick with Hand-Carved Bear in Dark woods like Persimmon, Sweetgum, Black Gum, and Walnut. This staff has a leather strap above the handle and a quality rubber stopper on the tip. Made in the USA. Using walking sticks and canes are excellent ways to support one's self while walking through the town or out in nature. Carved sticks and canes are functional and also make great conversation pieces. Use your stick to overturn leaves on the trail, as support for a weaker leg, for balance while going up and down hills, or as a decoration piece in your home. These functional pieces of art make the perfect gift for that “hard to buy for” person in your family or life.
