A place for enthusiasts of sticks of all shapes and sizes. We all love a good stick! Is it a walking stick? Light Saber? Gun? Looks brown and sticky? You decide!
Feel free to post sticks to rate, sticks that look like things, memes about sticks, long winded rants about the superiority of birch sticks over oak, anything stick related! Natural sticks are preferred, but modification and ornamentation is also fine.

i made a rather reliable stick from a broken holly branch I've found years ago. When i enter the forest with a "walking stick" already in hand, i no longer feel that need to pick up sticks
somehow hacked that strange desire to pick up sticks 🤷
