Stick Enthusiasts

Hello my fellow Stick Enthusiasts!

Now that you have found your stick (or rather, your stick found YOU), you may be asking yourself, “What do I do with this sweet stick?”

ANSWER: Keep it forever.

Here is my sweet piece of life lumber. Probably mulberry, found after an overgrown field was mowed down just days prior. I scraped off the outer layer of bark, revealing that nice inner brown layer. Shallow cuts through the brown inner back provide this masterpiece with its characteristic look. Tapering downward from it’s perfect hand hold just under it’s bulb, it feels perfect to me, even after 30 years together. A thin layer of spar urethane every 10 years will keep this beauty with me until the very end. And when that time comes, it will go in the box with me.

STICK STATS: 59.5” long, 1.75” bulb, .75” at tip. Strong, with just the right amount of flex and balance. Weight: perfect.

1-10. How good of a stick is this? I quite like it.

A stick!

I found this on a walk today. It was leaning up against a very tall hedge bush. The bottom is flat and angled so I assume somebody cut it off and then just left it there. I cut off and then sanded down all the little rough spiky parts that hurt my hands. I think I'm going to use it to clean my gutters.

I've had this duck wand for years. So far, I can't control any ducks with it, but it's a very fine example of a stick.

Sticks come in many shapes and sizes, but this is guide to a good vanilla one.

I'd love a stick like this, so much fun waving it around.
