A place for enthusiasts of sticks of all shapes and sizes. We all love a good stick! Is it a walking stick? Light Saber? Gun? Looks brown and sticky? You decide!

Feel free to post sticks to rate, sticks that look like things, memes about sticks, long winded rants about the superiority of birch sticks over oak, anything stick related! Natural sticks are preferred, but modification and ornamentation is also fine.

Hello my fellow Stick Enthusiasts!

Now that you have found your stick (or rather, your stick found YOU), you may be asking yourself, “What do I do with this sweet stick?”

ANSWER: Keep it forever.

Here is my sweet piece of life lumber. Probably mulberry, found after an overgrown field was mowed down just days prior. I scraped off the outer layer of bark, revealing that nice inner brown layer. Shallow cuts through the brown inner back provide this masterpiece with its characteristic look. Tapering downward from it’s perfect hand hold just under it’s bulb, it feels perfect to me, even after 30 years together. A thin layer of spar urethane every 10 years will keep this beauty with me until the very end. And when that time comes, it will go in the box with me.

STICK STATS: 59.5” long, 1.75” bulb, .75” at tip. Strong, with just the right amount of flex and balance. Weight: perfect.
