Of great interest, Hazelwood crook walking cane.

These traditional coppice walking sticks are fashioned from Hazelwood. The polished knob handle fits comfortably in the palm of your hand, while the shaft has a natural finish with a smooth bark. Grown in Europe, this bark-on variety of Hazelwood is unique in that each piece has its own colour, dictated by when it was harvested.

With its attractive knob from the "root" of the limb it makes a distinctive walking stick for light hiking or urban walking. Includes leather thonged walking stick strap.

Coppicing is a traditional forestry technique and the method used to produce many styles of rustic walking sticks. Here, young hazel tree stems are repeatedly cut down to near ground level. In subsequent growth years, many new shoots will emerge, and, after a number of years the coppiced tree, or stool, is ready to be harvested, and the cycle begins again. The rounded handle of a knob stick is in fact, fashioned from part of the original tree's trunk.

Coppicing is the ultimate technique for sustainable woodland!

• Shaft: Natural Hazelwood
• Handle: Polished Hazelwood knob
• 36 inch length (approximately)
• Weight: 11.2 oz (approximately)
• Leather wrist strap
• Rubber traction tip with steel insert for durability

• Note: Natural wood sticks are mostly un-modified specimens; as a result they are irregular, organic and less "finished" than other cut and stained type walking sticks. As a consequence:

  • Blackthorns and other root knob/natural state based sticks and canes have irregular cracks, dents, undulations.
  • Some larger cracks may be filled with wood filler in some instances.
  • Natural wood knobsticks are not meant for rigorous support of full weight individuals; rather, these are used for light support and balance while walking, hiking or trekking under average conditions.
  • Sticks should be kept dry, in a moderate environment.
  • Extreme heat or cold can and will cause some natural wood sticks to "flake" off exterior bark, despite the light pitch finish used on them.
  • Avoid moisture, water submersion or other wet conditions, they too can distress the natural properties of your cane. Dry your walking stick once indoors if walking in inclement weather. Natural based oils may be use lightly and sparingly.
  • Do not lacquer the stick; you will not be pleased with the outcome.
