Hiking Staff hand made from Southern Pine with a unique twist carved the length of the staff. Hand rubbed with rubber tip and leather thong. These premium sticks are famous for their balance, finish and high strength to weight ratio. From the ground up, the Discovery Series sticks have been designed for good looks, exquisite design, outdoor performance, light weight and substantial tensile strength. The result is one of the most unusual walking sticks on the market. Whistle Creek starts with select kiln-dried Douglas Fir, allow for a roomy grip, then carve a striking double-helix twist starting just below the hand-hold, tapering down to the rubber tip. Awesome! Each Discovery stick is 55" tall and available in one of three stains or laminated with American walnut. Whistle Creek polishes them off with a luscious coat of varnish, leather wrist strap and durable rubber tip. You'll be confused as to whether this belongs in your truck headed for the National Park or on display in your office. Why not both?Profile: We are one of the largest suppliers of hiking and walking sticks in the U.S., and we have been in the stick business since 1985. Best selling of all of our sticks is the rustic Hickory hiking stick, famous for its strength and durability. Whistle Creek makes sticks "like grandpa would have made." These are products that you would be proud to display in your home, yet not hesitate to use on the trail every day. We have avoided going to aluminum poles (lightning rods) or other mass-manufactured techniques. We have stayed with time-tested traditional methods that have been around since before Moses. Each Whistle Creek product is hand crafted from wood in the U.S. by skilled craftsmen who value the importance of a sturdy "friend" on the trail. Whether you use your stick for arduous mountain treks, strolls in the forest or just for "wandering 'round the block," you will soon benefit from the comfort and security that a good walking stick can bring to your outings. Hopefully you will decide to collect all of our sticks for you and your family to use for generations. What Size Stick is for Me? Hiking sticks should be 6" to 9" above your elbow to help you get down a hill (you need to reach). Walking sticks and canes are different. First, place your arm to your side with the elbow slightly bent. The top of the handle on the stick should be at the break in your wrist. All of Whistle Creek's sticks can be shortened by removing the rubber tip, sawing off what is not needed and then replacing the tip. Orthopedic patients should consult their physician.
