A gift from Poland. I really want some of this wood!

Here is a link with some history of this "walking stick"

(wow)
What an awesome gift, and such history!! I think it is beautful, the artwork on it is incredible! It fits you perfectly!

Your daughter done good!

I wonder what kind of wood it is as well, is there any way youl can find out what kind it is? It looks as if it is well balanced too, how does it feel?

I am jealous.

Blessings Bright and Dark,

You can get ciupagi at Poland by Mail--www.polandbymail.com. I am of Polish decent and I get their catalog. Fantastic amber jewelry, Polish glassware, and Boleslawiec pottery too! They also have salt from the Wielicza salt mine that is great for baths.

SSSOOOOOOOOO lucky Sundown. It is beautiful.

Your girl has good taste.

All I know is it is a mountain hardwood. Maybe some of her friends there can get me some of it to make a staff or so out of? Going to ask anyway. It feels great, nice balance, but it is one of the ornamental ones. You can get the real sharp and dangerous ones. They are cheap there in U.S. dollars but shipping is high.
