This is 3/4" shy of 7 feet, it's tall with a knock-down joint so it can be shipped. It will ship in an 54" x 8" x 8" box and it comes with the hardware to reassemble it, either dry or with glue to make it permanent. It is a Red Maple staff that weighs 4#6ozs with a nice curved root mass that looks like a rack. It has all the goodies; lumps, bumps and hollows. The shaft ranges from 1-3/16" in diameter up to 1-3/4". It was harvested, the bark was stripped with a drawknife and the joint was cut. It is a raw material ready to be customized. (ufws265)
