Strong but heavy
This is a Hickory stick, what that means is strong, axe handles are made from hickory to give you an idea of how strong. It’s just the thing if you desire a stick that is abnormally strong, it’s perfect for a walking stick that can be used to protect yourself from an aggressive dog etc. however it gets its strength from being dense, so it’s also a heavy wood, so take that into consideration.<br />The art work is very good, obviously hand and not machine crafted and the finish is nice as is the color of the wood, it also seems to be well seasoned so I’m not worried about cracking later.
