Default Six sticks
These are some sticks I did not long ago for a show. They are walnut, oak and cherry. They have leather grips with a decretive knot called a Turk’s Head tied at the top and bottom of the leather.

I like them all! I like your display holder also. I notice your sticks are different lengths, how does a person decide on a length, is there a rule?

The center of the 6“ leather grip area was about 42 1/2 inch’s . This seems to work out for most people. If I need to I can always trim the bottom. The 3 taller ones were more decretive that practical use walking sticks the shorter one on the right was more of a cane that had a natural duck head shape. I am sorry I do not have a better picture of it. It was really nice.

Wow! These are very nice sticks. The leather wrap makes them look very nice to grip. They all have very nice color, too.
