Both seasoned hikers and casual strollers will enjoy the Brazos 602-3000-1211 Free-Form Sassafras Walking Stick. Sassafras makes for a strong and relatively lightweight staff. When finished, the beautiful bark takes on an orange-red hue resulting in a walking aid that's both functional and attractive. Each piece of sassafras is meticulously chosen, prepared, cut, and sanded. Finally, each stick is sprayed with a protective clear coat lacquer. (Note: this stick has a rough bark feel.) The finished staff is a one-of-a-kind, handcrafted walking stick. Like all of our finely crafted walking sticks and canes, the Twisted Sassafras Walking Stick is made in the USA by our skilled craftsmen using the highest quality wood and time-tested methods. Made in America, One at a Time. Unlike sterile, lifeless metal canes and poles, Brazos walking sticks offer natural appeal because they are made from real wood. You can see the fine detail and beauty of the actual tree when you look at one. Each stick is a work of art and no two are exactly alike. Brazos Walking Sticks is family operated and located in the beautiful Brazos River Valley of Central Texas. Each walking stick is handcrafted by skilled local craftsmen.
