Here are 3 walking sticks made from river wood taken from the Ohio river at Metropolis, Illinois. Each wood was taken directly from the water and air dried; then cleaned and prepaired for Spar Varnish. I do not stain, but I do burn some areas on the sticks to smooth them out and to enhance the natural beauty of the wood. They are about 3 1/2 feet long and they have been laced with leather string for the hand.
These are my first three that I made and the 1st two were given to my son and his wife who loves hiking the outdoors in Southern Illinois.
