The
Walking Sticks, in our collection, are made from only two types of hand
selected woods. Both basswood and redwood make excellent walking sticks.
Both woods are light in weight, strong, and the quality is superb.
All of our items have a story tag signed by the Cherokee or Navajo
craftsman that decorated them.
Our uniquely designed walking sticks are all handmade. They have soft
flowing natural curves that resemble tree branches. For the benefit of the
environment, we only select wood from 2nd growth trees. Which means that
the wood used in our walking sticks comes from trees planted by the lumber
companies to be cut for lumber 30 to 70 years in the future.
Most walking sticks on the market today are either heavy, clunky, or look
like broom handles and have no shape or design. Whichever walking
stick you chose will be very light (about 1 pound each) and
strong. You may chose any of the unique designs for your hiking stick
or walking stick.
All of the carvings on the
walking sticks
are
good luck symbols. Hand-crafted Indian Art has re-created the World
famous Arizona rock drawings called petroglyphs to decorate the
walking
stick
of your choice. Each
walking stick will have a series of
symbols hand-carved into the hiking stick for a special kind of
good luck.
For 1000's of years the only written language of the Native American was
the petroglyph. Normally the symbols were scratched on a rock along side
the trail. Occasionally the symbols were painted,
but not often. Although petroglyphs have been found in most parts of the
U.S., because it is a dead language, it is difficult to interpret them.
The Glyphs are all slightly different, just as your handwriting is
different from mine, but not often. Although petroglyphs have been
found in most parts of the U.S., because it is a dead language it is

When you walk with one of our Hiking or Walking Sticks, instead of a cane,
everyone admires your "walking
stick", rather than thinking
that poor person needs a cane to walk.
A hiking stick will make going up or down stairs easier because of the
longer reach. Your new walking stick will also make a great conversation
piece.
Please
Note: Average length on all of the sticks are 52" - to - 56" inches.
After receiving your stick, the bottom can be trimmed to any desired
length.
