This is a nice solid birch root staff. It stands 71-1/2" tall and it weighs 3#10ozs. The shaft ranges in diameter from 1-3/8" up to 2". It is far from straight, the shaft is curved in two directions. This one had tight bark that had to be stripped with a drawknife, hence it has subtle facets left behind. This is a raw material ready for you to customize. (ufws300)
