My wife and I were babysitting the grands the other day and me and my 3 year old grand daughter were out walking behind the house and I noticed there were some nice straight hickory saplings back there so I took one to make a walking stick. My grand daughter asked me why I was cutting that tree and I told her I was going to make a "walking" stick. Of course she wanted one too so I cut her a smaller version. Hers was too small to peel so I had to whittle the bark off of it which was kind of a chore. Hers has some character to it but it's the one she picked out. When her 5 year old sister got home from Kindergarten she wanted one too so I'll let her pick one out the next time we watch them. I'll post a pic of hers in a minute. I'll let mine dry a little while longer then I'll sand those knobs some and apply a sealer. They are handy to have walking around out in the woods.
