Eight Ball - Birch Shaft
011KH - Eight Ball Handle on Birch - We have mixed fun with function with this Canadian made walking stick. It will make a great companion for those looking for something more than just a walking aid.
Paper Birch, also known as Canoe or Silver Birch, is a strong part of Canada's history. Most of us will be familiar with birch bark canoes and the song "Land of the Silver Birch" (author unknown). The Aboriginals used the bark, roots and wood of birch in so many aspects of their lives. They made canoes, utensils, baskets, fishing gear and even musical instruments. Our hikers are a way for us to remember a piece of Canada's past.
These hiking stick are oiled rather than lacquered. If your stick needs some maintainace, just lightly sand down the area that is scratched with either fine sand paper or with fine grade steel wool, wipe clean with a dry cloth and then re oil with Brazilian Rosewood oil. **Rosewood oil is sold as a product called Penofin. web search Penofin to find a local suppler. In Canada, Windsor Plywood can handle this product.**
