Each Walker is made from hardwoods found in New England. Maple, cedar, oak, birch and spruce are strong & sturdy woods with natural longevity and each comes complete with nature's imperfections.
The handle is where the each Walker becomes an extension of your body, stabilizing, supporting and empowering each step. Fit is critical, each Walker is hand-carved to contour the natural placement of your fingers.
Each Walker is fitted with a strong & durable copper or brass tip that contrasts beautifully with the finishing stain and provides added stability.
To help preserve each Walker and bring out its natural beauty, a range of finishing stains are applied by hand.
Such a nice seller- a real pleasure to work with. The finished piece, which he made just as I asked, is lovely and strong and made a wonderful gift. It is well finished and pleasantly fitted. I am very pleased, and the recipient loved it. Thank you!
4 months ago, I received an unexpected FedEx box to my home from Vito. Inside was a handcrafted walking stick especially made for me. I was touched by his gift and artistic creativity. I loved his creation so much that I ordered 8 of them for each member of my family.
My Walker is more art than stick. I receive compliments on it where ever I go. I have one for walking and am ordering another for decorating. Beautiful.
Vito's Walkers are absolutely beautiful. His attention to detail, quality materials, and artist's eye make each Walker unique, physically striking and functionally strong.
The “plain but sturdy” sticks are beautiful and brought much joy. The stick fit into my palm as if it had been with me for years. Mostly, it felt authentic; a relic of the forest that, with loving care, had been transformed into a tool, and a piece of art. Can a "relic of the forest," a humble walking stick, change a life? Yes.
