I have several walking sticks that I have made myself.
Not crap sticks that I just picked up but something I spent a long time making.
You have to walk through a lot of woods to find just the right little tree to cut out of the ground and work with.

Made my first around 12.

I still have a club I made of black ash and finished with at least 500 coats of linseed oil over 2 years time.
I trapped with that club for years, it saved my life once in a good ol fashioned stick fight (course his stick was aluminum).

I miss making sticks. Its gonna take a while to start again as I always let them cure 1 year before peeling and carving.

I may post a pic of one later.
