Here is the tallest staff I can ship in one piece in an 8" x 8" girth box. It is a Black Cherry specimen that stands 78-1/2" tall and weighs 3#13ozs. The shaft is primarily 1-1/4 to 1-1/2" in diameter and it is straight for about 4' up where the hear starts to curve. The diameter is about 2-1/4" right before the roots and like most cherry staffs yo can expect some drying splits to open up anywhere along the piece, a few already started on the roots. Like the others this was harvested and stripped with a drawknife so there is and array of flat facets and tooling marks to add to the rustic charm. This is a raw material ready to be customized.(ufws340)
