This is a large White Pine wizard staff with a nice curved root. It weighs 2#6ozs and it stands 71" tall. The shaft has a fast taper, it is 7/8" in diameter on the bottom and goes up to 2"+ below the roots. Please note it does have a tear visible in the last pic. It is not broken through and you can fill it as you see fit before you sand it. The root mass barely fits in an 8" x 8" girth box. White pine is a light softwood that accepts stain readily. (ufws263)
