Handmade Apple Wood Wolf Head Staff / Walking Stick With Leather Grip

Description

This staffis made of apple wood from my yard.
Oneof our two 40 plus year old apple trees was hit by lightening whichunfortunately killed it.
Luckily we wereable to salvage several nice pieces of wood such as what was used in thecreation of this staff.
This was created by my husband.  There is ahand carved wolf head on the top portion as well as swirls.
Since the tree was hit and burnt by lightening,my husband used wood burning techniques to add coloration.
It has a real leather wrap hand grip that hassilver colored metal tacks (most likely steel) holding it in place.
It is sealed with beeswax from my father’sfarm.
It standsslightly over 5ft tall; please see the wall marking in the pictures.
The hand grip area is about 1 ¾” diameter, which allows a good hand hold.
I forgot to get a weight before packaging it,but once boxed and packaged, it weighs about 5lbs 6 oz, so I estimate that isweighs under 5 lbs.  For reference, the person in the last photo is about 5' 11" tall.
