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 may of '23 and after drying a few weeks it weighs 2#11ozs. Like all fresh, wet wood it will dry down at which time you can seal it. The dog that photo bombed me is not included.(238)
