This listing is for a thick Black Cherry staff. It stands 71" tall and the shaft ranges in diameter from 1-7/16" up to 2" in diameter. It has a cool thickened "lump" at the root mass that is roughly 3" in diamater. This saply was harvested and it was wet enough that I was able to peel the bark without using a drawknife, hence it has no tooling marks. The tap root on this one is truncated with a drawknife, there were too many large buried rocks to remove it intact. Also note that there are "heart checks" which are just splits to the pith as it dries out. This is natural as the tension is released, any wood round (or cant) that has the pith will typically develop drying splits. Cherry is typically very dramatic and often split more than our other local species. This is a raw material and it weighs 4#6ozs currently, finish it as you envision.(ufws292)
