54'' Strong Walking Stick, Thick for XL Hand, Curvy Bariatric Walking Aid, Max 450lbs, Polished Diamond Willow, Homemade Northern MN, U.S.A. This cool, rustic hiking stick is mostly smooth with 13 small to medium size wood diamonds, this heavy duty willow walking stick can hold a lot of weight__whether one is just a little overweight or severely obese, you can count on this sturdy hiking staff. Top is super comfortable. There are diamonds on the side that don't impede, but rather the indents make great finger grips and hand guides. GIRTH: Hand grip girth is best for a Lg to XXXL ADULT HAND (determined by what size work or winter glove you wear), as it is now. HOWEVER, we can often make it thinner so it fits your hand better by sanding it down a bit, if you need us to, at no charge. PLEASE NOTE: Best suited for XL hands or bigger; and a rope wrapped hand grip is NOT recommended, as it is, since it's just barely fits a Lg hand. HAS CURVES: This walking staff has a few curves, making it extra intriguing, but the stick stands straight for the most part and works great. (I use one all the time and can verify that crooked hiking sticks work great and have marvelously charming character.) NATURAL MARKINGS No stains, paints or colors added__just fives coats of clear poly finish. The natural colors are spectacular, looking so much better in person than I'm able to capture with photos. DIAMONDS: Covered with an exceptional array of diamonds, with all sorts of wonderful twisting curves and a variety of tan, caramel, dark brown and reddish brown colors. A very unique piece with great character. SPECIFICATIONS ____________________ Height: 54 in. Top diameter: 1.5 in. Bottom diameter: 1.25 in. Weight: 2 lbs. 2 oz.

ABOUT MAX WEIGHT: 450 lbs. ___________________________________ I'm just guessing at wt. limit. I'm "only" 200 lbs. and test each stick just by trying to bend it to make sure it's sturdy. DISCLAIMER: Since this is wood, and we're not a factory, I make no guarantees about the future condition of this walking stick, but CAN GUARANTEE it was strong without any large cracks when I harvested, cured, coated, listed, and packed it for shipping after it sells, inspecting it at each step along the way. However, PLEASE INSPECT ALL YOUR EQUIPMENT before each use to make sure no cracks or weaknesses have developed over time. Stay safe! I use a walking cane DAILY (or hiking staff for woods trompsing), and have had the same hiking staff and cane for several years, and I take pride in making sure you get a beautiful, strong and sturdy walking staff to last for many years! ~~~ Crafted with blood (mosquito juice), sweat and tears of love. ~~~ BUY NOW ____________ ...and make this unique staff that's full of great character your very own journey companion today!
