This tall hiking staff is a unique combination of rugged practicality and tasteful artistry wrapped up in fine craftsmanship. The wood is vibrant orange Pernambuco wood from Brazil. This wood became so prized and coveted by European explorers during the discovery of America that the wood is actually responsible for naming the country of Brazil! I believe it is the only wood in the world with such a claim. Today Pernambuco is nearly extinct, highly protected, and very scarce. Finding a piece of this wood long enough to make this hiking staff was a surprise.

Lapidary work at the top of the staff adds more colors and uniqueness. The very top is a kind of jasper with matching orange colored “drops” within a grey matrix. And of course no one can miss the green Malachite inlay on the side of the stick.

This staff is about 5 feet tall, and can be shortened by request. It’s intended to be held from the side, not from the top. It is a straight stick with a gentle taper. Most of the stick is an oval shape, which is better for grasping, and eventually tapers to round. The bottom is rounded and can be fitted with the included rubber tip. The finish is the same finish I use on my walking canes, it’s a durable gun stock oil finish that is intended for high-use, hand-held implements.

This artistic hiking staff is ready for an adventure!
