Look at the  stick building guide, then check here to find out what your stick will cost 

If you don't find the stick you are looking for on our current crooks or current hiking sticks pages or just want to custom order one here is a look at the kinds of options you have and the associated prices. If you are not familiar with any of the options take a look at our stick design guide for pictures of what the various options look like. . Not all materials listed are necessarily in stock. Prices shown are subject to change, especially for head material.

Style

There are 10 basic designs that I use. The first 5 fall in the the crooks category, the last 4 into the hiking sticks category. Thumb sticks are listed on the crooks page but are often considered hiking sticks today.

  • Shepherds Crook -- $50 (add $20 for horn)
  • Leg Cleek -- $50 (add $30 for horn)

Head Material

For crooks you have a choice of wood or horn. Antler cannot be shaped so is only available for Thumb sticks, an occasional Market stick and hiking sticks. Wood prices are based on the last piece I bought, if I need to buy a new piece then the price will be adjusted based on the cost of the new lumber.
