Crook Chestnut Children's Walking Stick

While traditionally used to catch hens by the neck, the charming Crook Chestnut Children's Walking Stick is now more often used as an everyday stick for children. Shorter and lighter than ordinary shepherd's crooks, it still has all the essential features of a high-quality country stick, including a durable shaft made from chestnut wood and a metal ferrule.

The Hen Crook

Traditionally used by farmers' wives to catch hens by the neck, nowadays hen crooks are used as everyday walking sticks for children, as they are slightly shorter and much lighter than ordinary crook canes. They are often used as crooks for the shepherds in nativity plays as well.

Chestnut Wood

Chestnut wood is known for its strength and durability, making it the ideal material for walking sticks. This Children's Walking Stick is made from peeled chestnut wood that has been steamed and bent into the attractive crook shape.

Sizing of the Crook Chestnut Children's Walking Stick

The length of the crook is approximately 92cm (36"). Due to the natural sourcing and manufacturing process, however, the length may vary slightly from product to product.
