This one is crooked and curved. If you want a straight staff this is not the one...but if you want odd it might be. It is a birch that stands about 71" tall and the crooked shaft varies from 1-1/4" in diameter to 1-3/4". It was harvested, stripped with a drawknife and dried. It weighs 2#13.3ozs. The dog that photo bombed me is not included.(238)
