Collection: Painted Walking & Thumbsticks


 I  hope you enjoy exploring the full range  of ready made design painted country wooden walking sticks and thumbsticks. If you prefer a classic unpainted stick I offer traditional rustic variations, visit my collection here.

The great thing about this art is you can take it with you where ever you go and you can literally hold it in your hand. 

Here are the things you may like to know about these sticks.

All sticks are listed and photographed individually, so the stick you see on a listing will be the very same stick shipped to you after purchase. 


Design
All sticks are lovingly handcrafted made from natural materials, constructed using traditional stick making methods.

These sticks are very tactile as well as stunning and different to look at.  The handles are lovely to hold. You can feel the contours of the wood on the shaft not always totally smooth giving it more life and interest. 

The Stick
All wood has been seasoned for at least 1 year before being straightened to make a strong seasoned sturdy shank.

Stag Horn thumbsticks and waders; Naturally shed red deer antler is used to make a beautiful tactile handle or thumb rest. Tipped and finished off with black buffalo horn or cow horn which has been hand worked and polished to a high gloss.  

All sticks are fitted with a metal (or rubber if grip is required) ferrule to protect the bottom. 

And finally to finish, marine varnish is used to add lustre and further protection to the naturally durable materials and artwork. 

Sometimes If demand has been high there may not be any or limited number of hand painted sticks available in the shop, please accept my apologies and check in again. You can also contact me here.

If your looking for something unique and special enquire about our hand painted custom commissioned sticks - please visit here.

Watch here videos of some hand painted sticks which are either for sale on my shop or were special commissions. 

Please note: As these sticks are made from natural materials each stick and handle will vary and are not totally smooth or straight. Full payment is required before any order is shipped. We are not responsible for taxes due/payable where items are shipped abroad, these must be paid by the buyer. Shipping fees will be available on request. 

 

To help preserve the artwork I recommend you do not leave this stick out in the rain or in direct sunlight or submerge in water.
