We started this pasttime on a suggestion from you. Here are a few pics to give you some insight.

This is just a hodgepodge of photos. Some of the photos show our mismanaged woodlands we are trying to improve while others show raw materials and processes we use. Our goal is simply for the land to support itself so we can continue our plight. Your purchase helps us keep the land wild instead of seeing a developer cut it into chunks of suburbia. Your benefit is the unique endless loot...

The staff complimenting full garb.

Here is a customized staff completed by a customer from Texas. How cool is that!

Here is a sight I rarely get to see. This is a nicely customized staff at the 2022 Ren Faire in Tuxedo Park.

This is a pic of the same staff when it was completed. I like to send out raw, unfinished staffs because I would have never pulled off a vision like this. Nice job.

Here is another possible "knock down" joint that we can do for $10/joint. Unlike the scarf joint that has to be glued, this joint can be used multiple times to make travel easier. You will see this joint, and it is less than ideal, but it does yield a structural connection when compared to a screw-together joint.

Here is a completed "knock down" joint. With two joints in a 6' staff the three pieces will be about 28" each.

Another pic of the "knock down" joint. It is best suited to a hardwood species with the appropriate diameter. Please inquire before you order.

One of our recent visitors. We've had many over the years but sadly we have lost a lot to vehicular collisions and poachers. This is a young guy...hopefully he'll grow old here .

Long scarf joint on a non-load bearing staff to make shipping more affordable (or even possible). The long joint allows for more glue surface. Note the pencil line witness to help align it. Please note it is best to attempt on a dry, seasoned staff. If not the faces may distort as they dry and may not mate as well.

Gluing and clamping a scarf joint. Use a liberal amount of glue spread evenly on each face. Cable ties work as cheap clamps, tighten them well with pliers. Masking tape helps hold the fine feathered edge in place. If left unchecked that thin edge of wood will warp up because of the glue, especially water based glue. It should be noted that wood glue is best on dry wood, but if you must reassemble a fresher staff a clear, slow set epoxy would be more suitable.

Completed scarf joint rough sanded. Two through fasteners can be added for more strength. You can also conceal the joint with a surface treatment like wrapping it with leather if it is placed at a good gripping height.

Late summer morning with a crisp chill in the air.

A walk at dusk to harvest a few more goodies. Note the double trunk tree. Good forest management practices are to remove any multiple stems and favor the straight single stemmed trees.

Our monstrous, tortured white pine complete with demon dog. No marketable wood value in a tree like this and it should be removed in theory...but it is a magical, sacred place.

Another angle of the big old behemoth white pine. The low branches and multiple leaders show it started it's life in a field where it suffered lifelong injuries.
