Shipping would make the price to the buyer 133.69, at (early) CHRISTMAS! NO WAY!!! However, I already pay shipping...hummm, what to do? A-HA! I will REDUCE by 13.70, making this a STEAL at 106.29! (And why not, unfortunately people are always stealing at Christmas; did you know the most stolen book at Christmas is the BIBLE?!? So perhaps we should say I am “giving” it away…) Now THAT is a Christmas reduction!!!     Unique, handcrafted heirloom quality walking sticks are the perfect gift for anyone who needs the use of one. Ask anyone who needs one or watch the older fellows (and a surprising number of women) at the Mall comparing their sticks and you will find that having a “cool stick” to those who do not drive and so have no use for that Ferrari, having a unique and interesting stick is comparable to showing off their “wheels”. They are often collected like cars and cared for as any car collector would care for their collection. …Racing them is optional of course and dependant upon how seriously they are about their sticks   So, if you are looking for that great gift for Grandpa or Uncle Joe, Grandma or Aunt Jane, K-Mart is probably not where they would want you to pick-up their new stick.   Also I hate to be the one to have to say it, however it is unfortunately true that “ the times they are a-changin’ “, it is no longer the nice safe days of our youth and the difference between that quiet afternoon stroll and a trip to the emergency room may just be the presence of a functional yet formidable looking walking stick.  Some people ("people", is that the correct word?) much prefer their Lil ol’ Lady’s (or men, both also referred to as “TARGETS”) to appear defenseless, as in not appearing to be able to inflict any serious damage.   Michael Masias’ walking sticks are created out of a variety of rare and exotic hardwoods, all are crafted by hand, sight and feel, as no lathe is used in their making.     Less is often more, especially in the case of this beautiful and elegantly simple walking stick that is most definitely fit for a lady. Made of Panamanian Cocobolo wood, it is quite the piece; with it’s smooth, richly colored and wonderfully patterned look.   Weighing Approx. 23 oz and 37” in length this is a gift that will be cherished for years to come and passed from generation, to generation.   Remember, it is sooo much easier to remove length than it is to add…just ask.   If desired, I can send larger photos to your email address.     Place a Bid!
