Anatomy

A replica of his own walking stick, the Thoreau Walker is made from the same natural woods found around the pond at Walden.

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.
