Form and function are both critical elements in walking stick design, not surprisingly given that walking sticks are an important every day wardrobe accessory.
Our standard finish for the walking stick shaft is a sanded, tinted polyurethane that offers a traditional cane look. However, walking sticks are a highly personal and much used wardrobe accessory, so for some people extra personal touches will help express how they see themselves,
This is why, as well as engraving on the handle, we offer walking stick shafts finished in colours based on the Resene range. These add-ons enable our walking sticks to to personalised to the taste and character of the user.
With this in mind I have been experimenting with other ways to use colour.
Here are some photos of walking stick shafts in which the sticks have been finished with three colours.
