I've done many things in my life. I'm a Navy vet 1964-1968, I've been a sailor, an actor, a haberdasher, a classically trained chef, professional chauffeur, a carpenter, a collegiate professor, a foil fencer, a farmer and storyteller.
But now on my hiking ventures I collect hardwoods to craft into beautiful wandering sticks. I make no cuttings I gather only those limbs that are pruned by Mother nature. Selection vary in types of wood, but are generally hardwoods. No two are the same each unique to it self. So pick one and enjoy the walk.
