I currently do not have a walking stick, but in the past I would always have one. I've never purchased one as I like to take a long walk in the woods and find just the right stick that is already dead and fashion me a stick worthy of being art in my opinion.

This reminds me of my last stick that I had until it broke, it was about 5ft in length, naturally twisted and had the uniqueness of being struck by lighting during a pretty hot storm. It was taken from the fallen tree from behind my grandmothers home while she was still around. No pictures of it, sorry.

That makes me wonder, of the people here with walking sticks, did you buy them? Make them? Receive them as a gift? If you purchased one, how much did you spend? I ask because I have never actually looked into "good prices" for walking sticks/canes.
