Brazos 55'' Texas Traveler, Pine, Red, Stick for Walking

This is an exceptionally beautiful walking stick, handcrafted by an American artisan. It was cut from a healthy, straight-grained piece of solid, US-grown and -harvested pine. It's very nicely balanced with a nice heft, without being too heavy. The rubber tip is nice. My old (stolen) Irish blackthorn cane (shillelagh) didn't have one, and this is a nice, stabilizing addition. I also appreciate the stick's comparative greater height and weight. Our dog Mugsy walks me about 4 miles each morning. Way too many neighbors allow their dogs to run loose; add in a few strays, and the occasional urban coyote, and I've had need of a good, solid staff to whale away menacingly at charging marauders more than a handful of times. (It's a pity I can't go after their absent owners, the real culprits.) Despite its heft, this 72 year old woman can easily swing it if needed. My new walking stick is of the highest quality wood and workmanship -- even more handsome than its photos indicate. I would have expected to pay far more. In fact, I did pay nearly three times this price about thirty years ago for a similar staff I'd bought as a gift for a dear friend. I *love* my new prize, and plan to buy another as a Christmas gift for my brother and furry nephew for their walkies. If you're wavering, be assured that it's a terrific buy.

I love this walking stick! I’ve gotten lots of compliments on it! very well-made comfortable to use . The finish looks awesome

Brazos is worth the money for sure. I have purchased 2 since I became disabled. They work perfectly for me and show only normal wear and tear. It will br hard for me not to purchase from them again.

Good sturdy product , finish wasn't as shiny but looks great anyways... Everyone loved it .. my cousin didn't expect that lol

Sturdy and great craftsmanship
