These walking sticks are made from the hardwoods of the Ozarks in the center of the USA. They are well balanced and strong. On top of this "Compass Walking Stick" is a small working compass. You can choose the height of your stick up to 60" tall and you can also choose to have a leather strap placed on through a tapered hold as well. Walking sticks make great companions in the woods to overturn leaves, provide additional balance, and rest. All walking sticks by Creation Carvings have been sustainably harvested from the Ozarks of the USA. They have been properly dried, sanded and sealed. At the base of the walking sticks, a rubber tip has been provided.
