"Brazos Walking Sticks Twisted Hickory Walking Stick is a one of a kind cane! This work of art is handcrafted from a piece of hickory with an Oak handle. Using the time tested Mortise & Tenon joint to attach the handle to the shaft, this cane will provide the stability you are looking for. Each walking cane is made from Hickory that is carefully selected, cut, worked on a router, sanded and sprayed with a protective clear coat lacquer to magnify the wood's beauty. Each shaft is given our signature twist that spirals majestically down its length. Like all of our staffs and canes, this walking cane is handcrafted in the USA using the highest quality wood and time-tested methods. Made in America, One at a Time. Unlike sterile, lifeless metal canes and poles, Brazos Walking Sticks & canes offer a natural appeal because they are made from real wood. You can see the fine detail and beauty of the actual tree when you look at one. Each cane is a unique work of art. Brazos Walking Sticks is operated and located in the beautiful Brazos River Valley of Central Texas. Each walking stick is handcrafted by skilled local craftsmen. How to Size a Walking Cane For walking canes, a standard 37-inch size is a good starting place for most adults. For taller folks, we offer 40-inch canes as well. Cane sizing is best achieved by standing up straight, relaxing your arm naturally to the side, and having someone measure the distance from your wrist to the floor. A good cane size should allow for an elbow that is slightly bent."
