Handcrafted Walking Sticks for the 2023 Bazaar

Detail of Mac’s 2023 Walking Sticks

This is more detail of one of the sticks above. Mac made this walking stick out of a pool cue and topped it with an eight-ball.

For The Love of Walking

Walking sticks — or the longer version hiking sticks – have been around as long as people have walked. They are often made from branches and roots or any wood of the forest. Popular woods are walnut, maple, oak and hickory. The tops can be cast metal or carved wood. Mac will custom fit each stick to the buyer. Mac shares, “Turning, carving and assembling the sticks has kept me challenged. I love helping others find their stride.”
