We are strongly committed to making the environment better.
We recycle used leather for the handgrips on walking sticks and use
recycled lumber for the twig signs. Trees
are harvested from areas where they would be cut down or sprayed to keep
roadways clear or timber lots productive.
Branches are removed in the field and piled out of the way to
compost back into the soil. We
habitually collect garbage when we are harvesting twigs.
All of our work is made with pride and is signed and dated.
Take some time to look through the web site, we have many
interesting things available.
If you
don’t see it, Email us and we can see about making it for you.
Most of the material used is Red
Alder. Red
Alder is a nitrogen fixing plant that is often the first tree to grow in
areas that have recently been cleared such as avalanches, clear-cuts, and roadsides.
The tree ranges from
Alaska
to
Northern California
within a few hundred miles of the Pacific coast.
Occasionally other woods are used for accents on one of
a kind pieces. Walking sticks
and canes are made from all types of wood as long as the wood is sturdy
and light weight. Sticks are available plain, with carving, woodburning,
or other accents.
