Irish Walking Stick Genuine Blackthorn Made in Ireland

Description

Did your father or grandfather have a blackthorn stick? It was probably made from blackthorn bushes found in Ireland. More modern agricultural methods are making blackthorn canes even more unique. Blackthorn is famous for its hardness, being one of the hardest woods in nature. It has been prized for centuries as a material primarily for premium walking sticks. The original blackthorn sticks were blackjacks 1 to 2 feet in length. These walking sticks are painted a natural black with a rough texture and have a clear coat on the handle that develops a beautiful patina over the years. The Irish kept their modified clubs, and the world gained a beautiful and functional Irish walking stick known simply as the Irish Blackthorn. These poles have a textured black paint finish and a handle at approximately 30 degrees. The handle of these walking sticks is made from this authentic blackthorn wood, and the shaft of the walking stick is handcrafted from hazelnut wood to produce a sturdy walking stick.
