Walking Sticks

[Panache]

I picked up this simple cromach at the Ben Lomond Highland Games.

It is a hardwood staff that has been bent under steam. The was some machine sanding near the thin part of the crook (not sure why) that is a bit uneven and I don't think much of the stain. For $25 I still think it was a very good deal. 40 minutes of sanding and staining made it a whole lot nicer. When it is finished drying I will try to get another photo.

The stain had dried on my new cromach and it is waxed and ready to go.

I thought that I would include all my sticks and staffs

Sticks (and one brolly)



Staffs

Puffer,

(1) The kilt/tartan is a Stillwater wool Heavyweight kilt in a weathered variant of the Lamont tartan (it is half the sett). I got the last one in my size from the last run Jerry did of the tartan. I am pretty sure he isn't planning on bringing it back. A lot of X Markers have them so they do come up for sale from time to time in the "For Sale" forum. I love the earth tones, it is a subtle yet very handsome tartan.

(2) I bought the cane at a TJ MAxx store for about $10. It was missing it's handle (hence the great deal) and I took it home and made a top for it out of an antler corona.

Both the kilt and cane are favorites of mine, thanks for noticing them .

Cheers

Every once in a while someone on the site inspires me, such has it been with Panache and his collection of walking/hiking sticks. I was therefore very glad to find an elegant cane/walking stick on ebay. Once I saw it I decided to just go ahead and hit the buy it now button, I've lost out to a few others on something like this. It arrived today and I hastily took these photos.

Tres chic!

I picked up this plain old staff type at Hole 'N the Rock, Moab Utah.

Nice find Glen
I like the 'head' on that. Does it have a metal or rubber tip?
Looks like it might have some heft to it, and provide more than adequate protection from stray dogs & pickpockets
