Junior Thumbstick,
assorted woods

The perfect present for a child interested in walking and the country.  A scaled-down version of our adult's thumbsticks, the thumbstick is an unusual stick that is much sought after in the countryside. Produced using the coppicing method, these sticks are formed from the shoot that grows when the upper part of a young tree (usually ash or hazel) is removed.  Occasionally, these shoots fork to produce the distinctive thumbstick shape; the stick should be grasped around the neck, with the user's thumb resting in the 'V' formed by the shoots.  

Fitted with a non-slip rubber ferrule.  

Height approximately 100cm (39.5") (this stick can easily be shortened if necessary).  

Item weight is approximately 410g.
