Jake King's Ramblerstick is a quality, handcrafted wooden walking stick carved in the shapes of British wild animals and birds.  It is all one piece, with no added attachments such as antler, horn or acrylic. 

Each walking stick is unique.


*There has been a price increase for 2008 - the first for two years. A full list of prices can be seen in the gallery.

Much searching is necessary to find a suitable walking stick for carving.  Not only does it need to have enough 'handle' for working, but it also needs to be attractive, manageable and as straight as possible.  Only a small number of raw walking sticks have these qualities.	Male adder

Ash is the wood that is most often used for the Ramblerstick walking stick. It is tight grained and white, and seasons well. Sycamore is also used, but it is lighter and less dense, but with a lovely, rich brown bark and slightly yellow wood colour. Only live wood is used, which gradually seasons as it is worked.	Hare
Trout	For my subjects, I prefer British wild animals and birds, which are genuinely hand carved, painted with artist's quality water colours, detailed with glass eyes and then completely covered with three coats of UV filter varnish and finished with safety tip. I have often been asked how long a walking stick takes to complete; of course, this depends on the subject, but on average, each one can take up to four weeks, from cutting to finishing.

Prices start at £145.
