Made with northwest Douglas Fir, these staffs are carved with a twist the entire length, then finished in Natural, Black or Cherry and fitted with a leather wrist strap and rubber tip. The Laminated Version has strips of Walnut in it. 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?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.
