Here is a nice clean Cherry root staff. It stands 70-5/8" tall and it weighs 2#3ozs. It has no tooling marks in it from removing the bark. The shaft has a few wiggles in it and it varies in diameter from 1" to 1-1/2". Near the roots there are a few sharp branch or root nodes which is usually more indicative of birch but I indicated a "C" on the bottom so it's one or the other : ). This is a raw material ready to be customized. Please note the shaft diameters when you compare different staffs so you end up with what you want. (ufws308)
