Here is a raw Tamarack root staff ready for you to customize. The bark was stripped with only a pruning knife so there are no tooling marks, just a smooth straight staff. It stands 71-1/2" tall and the shaft varies from just below an inch to about 1-3/4" in diameter. Once the bark is removed from any fresh tree it dries rapidly and often little splits open up as the tension releases, and this one has a few small splits already. Currently it weighs 2# 1oz. The root mass itself barely fits in an 8" x 8" girth box, so it is a large box to ship. With any of my staffs I can typically fit at least two in a box and refund the additional shipping charges, hence it saves a lot of money. (ufws285)
