Blackthorn walking sticks have been a staple in Ireland for many years. The strong, knotted wood features a rustic, natural appearance that has gained popularity with cane collectives over the years. Blackthorn wood is generally dark brown to black in color it's unaltered appearance allows for each walking stick to be unique from the next. This stylish walking stick features a shiny knob handle carved from Beechwood. The contrast of the smooth, light colored Beechwood handle against the dark rough finish of the Blackthorn shaft is quite beautiful. A brass collar joins the two woods just beneath the handle.
