Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Wood Walking/Hiking Stick?

Heeler,

Fwiw, most of our Texas Master Naturalists have/use a walking stick in rough country. - A piece of HICKORY or OSAGE ORANGE (BOIS d' ARC) about 5' long & about 1.25-1.5" diameter, cut yourself, seems to make the strongest ones.
(One of our TMN has used the same walking stick, made of a length of OSAGE ORANGE, for over 20 years. = His only "out of pocket cost" is occasionally replacing the rubber crutch tip. = Tom's walking stick is carved with his name, TMN class number, PO Box & phone number.)

My guess is that your Dad would be quite PLEASED to receive one as a gift, that you made especially for him.
