Irish Blackthorn Hiking Stick with Antler Topper – Spalted Beech & Holly

Irish Blackthorn Hiking Stick with Antler Topper, Spalted Beech & Holly

A striking, one-of-a-kind Irish Blackthorn hiking stick, combining the natural character of Blackthorn with a beautifully unusual antler topper.

The antler has three distinctive tines, each carefully capped with spalted beech, creating a really eye-catching finish. The shape of the topper also gives it a surprisingly natural feel in the hand, with your thumb naturally settling between the tines, while it can also be comfortably gripped further down the shaft depending on how you prefer to use it.

A holly spacer sits between the Blackthorn shaft and antler topper, adding another piece of Irish hardwood to the combination and giving the whole stick a unique handcrafted appearance.

At approximately 140 cm (55 inches) tall, this is a substantial hiking stick, particularly suited to longer walks, woodland trails, countryside exploring and general outdoor use. The antler topper gives it a traditional country-pursuits character, while the Blackthorn shaft provides the unmistakable natural look associated with a traditionally made Irish walking stick.

As with all of my sticks, this is individually made, using the natural shapes and character of the materials rather than trying to make every piece identical. There will only ever be one exactly like this.
