The Free Form Dogwood Walking Stick is made of hard, dense dogwood, making it suitable for both arduous hikes through rugged terrain and casual strolls through picturesque walking trails. Dogwood has a dark, flaky bark with a pinkish and creamy white center. Each piece of dogwood is carefully selected, cut, gently sanded, and sprayed with a protective clear coat lacquer; the result is a rustic, attractive staff that is viable for years to come. The Free Form Dogwood Walking Stick can be customized with a quality, liquid-filled compass and a spike ferrule or combination spike per your choice. The staff -- like all of our walking sticks and canes -- can also be personalized with laser engraving, decorative pewter stars, a Texas State Seal, and a thermometer. The Free Form Dogwood Walking Stick comes in one of four sizes: 41-inches (primarily a childs size), 48-inches, 55-inches, and 58-inches. The staff also comes with a standard rubber ferrule for a firm, secure grip on virtually any surface. For serious hiking, the rubber ferrule can also be upgraded to a spike ferrule or combination spike ferrule per your choice. Like all of our handcrafted products, the Free Form Dogwood Walking Stick is made in the USA by our skilled craftsmen using the highest quality materials and time-tested methods.
