    Bespoke Personalised Walking Sticks and Waders
    One of the most unique and special ways you could do this is have that something special captured on a walking stick. 
     Whether you want a unique piece of artwork to decorate your home, looking great propped up in your hall or in a lovely stick stand. A talking point when friends come round or a walking stick with a difference this may be for you.

    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 and part of the painting technique means the painted surface is not always totally smooth giving it more life and interest.

    Each stick is hand painted, the shaft framing your unique piece of original art work signed by the artist Helen Elizabeth.  I will work personally with you, listen to your story for the piece so I can capture the spirit of what you want to see and feel each time you gaze upon your finished artwork. I will also keep you updated on progress during the design process. 

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

    Stag Horn Thumbsticks and Wading Staffs; 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.  Finished with a high gloss vanish. 

    All sticks are fitted with a brass (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.
