Hand-Turned Beech Walking Stick with Burl Yew Handle

A substantial and beautifully crafted hand-turned beech walking stick, featuring a striking natural burl yew handle and a contrasting padauk spacer.

The beech shaft has been carefully hand turned to create a smooth, balanced shape while retaining the natural character of the timber. Beech is a strong, dense hardwood and makes an excellent choice for a sturdy walking stick shaft.

The real feature of this stick is the burl yew handle, with its highly figured grain and distinctive natural character. Burl wood can produce wonderfully irregular patterns, making every handle completely individual.

A rich padauk spacer provides a vibrant contrast between the beech shaft and the burl yew handle, adding another layer of colour and character to the design.

The entire stick has been finished with oil, bringing out the natural tones and figuring of the different woods while leaving a smooth, natural finish.

At 883g, this is a substantial stick with a reassuring weight and solid feel in the hand.
