This is a Red Maple root staff with a curved over head. It stands 68" tall and it has a wound towards the bottom where a branch had broken off of it and dried out. It was a dry specimen so the bark had to be stripped with a drawknife that left subtle facets and streaks of cambium behind. It weighs 2#13ozs and the shaft ranges in diameter from 1" to 1-3/4". This is a raw material, do with it what you envision. With a bent over root mass it might be a good candidate to hang a lantern? (ufws299)
