Here is a nice solid Yellow Birch staff. It stand 71-5/8" tall and the shaft ranges in diameter from 1-1/4" up to 2". It had dry bark that needed to be stripped with a drawknife, a tedious process that leaves behind subtle facets and cambium. This on is a little fresh but it'll dry down fast, hence it currently weighs 3#7ozs. It is a raw material ready for you to customize. (ufws309)
