Thread: How Much Do You Guys Get For Your Walking Sticks

I usually sell somewhere around 2,000. This includes all the types of sticks that I list on my web page. By far the biggest seller is the Curled/Twisted Walking Sticks, which are really hard find out in the woods and a pain in the butt to pack out of the woods.

I sell several Carved Snake Sticks, but not as many as I would like. Seems like it's really difficult to promote the web site.

Any suggestions or comments?

I'm attaching a picture of the last batch of sticks from last week, 98 Curled Walking Sticks.

checked out your web site 60$ a stick x 2000 =$120,000 why are you worried sounds like you are doing ok

l don't know any members that make walking sticks to sell ,l have made 2 so far so any advice you would like for me l would be happy to give

if it's turn over you want you would have to break into the gift shop market

if it a name your after spend more time on a stick sell less for more and enter shows ect

Gday stixman, I have made a couple of hiking type sticks & have collected quite a few ready for manufacture. I have sold only one as a present for someone in Finland for $50.
What timbers do you use for your sticks? Your timbers would probably not be available in Australia. I have collected mostly eucalypt branches but the one I sold was a willow branch that was very light & have a few olive branches to try.
Eucalypts shed their bark easily so I shave it off to prevent it just falling off, but I am going to try an olive stick with bark on. (partly because its so hard to remove it)
Are all the snake sticks just a vine around a branch or are they carved out of the branch itself? They do look amazing, how long does it take you to finish one?
