Genuine Hazelwood Crook Walking Stick

Did you know?  Hazelwood has long been a favorite wood from which to make staffs, whether for medieval self defense, or to make shepherds crooks and everyday walking sticks. In the case of the latter two, the pliancy of the hazel's wood was used to bend the stems into the required shape, though it was also customary to bend the hazel shoots when still on the tree to 'grow' the bend into a crook or walking stick. Hazelwood stakes bent to a U-shape were also used to hold down thatch on roofs. Our Authentic Natural Hazelwood, with a crook style handle, has a 1" to 3/4" tapering diameter shaft.  (this is a natural wood and the diameter size varies)  So unique, the Crook has natural "knobs" where branches have been removed.  The cane is then finely sanded and sealing lacquer applied for a stunning finish.  Add this one to your shopping cart now!
