Hawthorn Hiking Staff HNS2401

All of my sticks are entirely handmade and have been sourced, seasoned and handcrafted by me.

Hawthorn shares many of the qualities that make Blackthorn such a favourite, e.g. tough and hard wearing with frequent distinctive knots. When the outer bark is removed, a warm reddish brown underbark is exposed.

Hawthorn makes good quality walking sticks which are attractive, strong and hard wearing.

Over the course of 15 years of stickmaking, I have not come across Hawthorn shanks long enough to make hiking staffs. This one is one of those.

The dimensions shown under the Additional Information tab are in inches and ounces. The width is the measurement at the tip (bottom) of the stick. Any stick can be shortened to a specified length at no extra cost.

Guidelines for arriving at the optimum length for you are shown on the Choosing a Stick page.

Some reasons for choosing a Hawthorn walking stick: -

1. Hawthorn sticks are strong and hard wearing
2. The shaved shank reveals a lovely grained under-bark which responds well to sanding.
3. Frequent knots add variety to the finished stick.
