Walking/Hiking Sticks

Dave from Ellington CT, USA...2010
Hello Wayne, Received my Bonker & Stick today via USPS... They look and feel absolutely great. Thanks again...

Doug from Ororo ON, Canada...2010
Wayne, Hello, my stick arrived today safe and sound. It is stunning. The pictures don't do it justice!
Thanks again, Doug

Dave from Herber City UT, USA...2009 (purchased a bonker & a stick c/w steel tip)
Wayne,
Enjoyed my first hike with your stick today. I must say, I had high expectations and you neatly exceeded them. The stick and bonker have high utility and show craftsmanship elevating them to art. They are magnificent.
No less than four neighbors, everyone I ran into, commented, then ooooo-ed and awed, then asked me where I found it. I gave them your website.
Thanks again. - Dave

Lou from New Rochelle NY, USA...2009 (purchased 5 Wupen items)
Wayne, hello. My sticks arrived and are again, two works of art. I marvel at the detail of your work. Sanding and polishing is perfect and even the packaging is impressive. All these factors point to the pride you take in your work. That's five pieces so far and I'm sure there will be many more. In fact I'm eyeballing one of the new bonkers now. Keep them coming. I envy your work and your beautiful lake. What a joy it must be to live in such a paradise and produce a quality product. And I am confident you do not at all consider it work. Regards, Lou

Howard from Palm Coast FL, USA...2009

Jeff from Fort Thomas KY, USA
I've been like a kid waiting for Christmas hoping I'd see a long box at my door each day when I got home. My stick arrived yesterday and the anticipation of opening the box was as good as I can remember as a kid. Beautiful Stick! What can I say, I am very pleased and your work is excellent! I've been showing it off to all my friends and now they want one. Let me know when you have more up on your site and I'll send them your way.
Thanks again for suggesting this stick, it is indeed a very unique piece!

Dennis from, Nebo NC, USA (purchased 2 diamond willow walking sticks).
Hi Wayne
Just wanted to let you know that the package with our sticks arrived yesterday. Both look great. The overall workmanship, finish and quality is wonderful. They are far superior to the one I purchased at a shop in Alaska last summer.
I especially like the darker color of mine and my wife was thrilled with the one you helped choose for her.
Thanks again,
Dennis

Chuck from Lee's Summit MO, USA (purchased 4 custom Red Alder sticks with carved patterns to present to family members)
Wayne - what beautiful work!!! Now I have a huge problem. I like them all so much that I can't decide which one to give to which brother, and which one to keep for myself. What fun it must be to do something that you make yourself and then sell. Thanks so much!

Canes

Judy from Holland, MI, USA...2009 (purchased a one piece natural cane)
Wayne,
The Wupen stick arrived on Friday. It is absolutely perfect. No old lady device is this one! The handle is beautifully smoothed and very comfortable. I’ve received many comments on the beauty of the craftsmanship. I tell them where it came from. I also make sure they know it’s NOT a cane, it’s a Wupen Stick and any less than complimentary comments will get them a Wuppen! :)
Thanks again for the assistance with my rehab!
Judy

Alex from Albuquerque, NM, USA...2009
Wayne, I just wanted to let you know the canes arrived several days ago. Thank you very much. The canes reflect wonderful craftsmanship and I have received numerous compliments on their appearance. The metal tips look great; thanks for working with me on coming up with an alternative solution. I expect these canes to serve me well for many years to come.
Alex

Robert from Fort Washington MD, USA...2009
Wayne,

Cheers, Robert

Tina from Hemet, CA, USA...2009
Hi Wayne,
I got my cane today. I LOVE it! Thank you so much, it's exactly what I needed and really special. The bird on it makes it so unique and the diamond willow wood is beautiful. Truly a one-of-a-kind cane that I will use and treasure. The packing was fantastic, too. It got here in perfect shape.
Thank you again. It's wonderful. You do amazing work!!

Dave from Panama City, Florida, USA...2009
Wayne, I received my Diamond Willow Cane on Saturday (April 25, 2009) afternoon. You did a superb job! I have already been putting it to use. People have commented about the uniqueness of the cane and complimented me on it's appearance and craftmanship! The credit, of course, is all yours.
I am completely and totally ecstatic with it appearance and functionality! You do some incredible work.
Thanks, Dave

Bob from Apopka FL, USA (purchased two canes and a bonker.)
Hi Wayne,
I received your shipment today. WOW! Exquisite! Superior Craftsmanship! You are quite the artisan. Such beauty comes from the heart. I have 4 canes and a collection of several, very "nice" pieces (not your ordinary cane) along with several walking sticks and until today, only 3 that I would call works of "ART". I now have, 4 Extraordinarily beautiful gems. Your number 62a will give me much pleasure.
The bonker is my first, I am sure of many.
Many thanks,
Bob

Rudolph from Slingerlands NY, USA
Wayne -
The cane arrived today in excellent condition [you certainly had it packed with greatest care].
I like the cane very much; it is perfect, the length and the shape of the handle suit me very well. I also admire the finish and the burly wood is not only comfortable, but gives an unusual touch. I am glad that I found you on the Internet. And if I ever have other/more needs I may return.
Regards,
Rudolf

Todd from Greenbank WA, USA
I received my new cane on Thursday safe and sound. It is terrific. Much lighter than my old aluminum cane and since it is wood is has more give. The look is even better than the website shows. Thanks again for a great product. I will be sure to send people your way when they ask about my nice new cane.
Todd

Dennis from Lakewood WA, USA
Wayne,
Wow, The cane got here today. It looks even better than I had hoped. Your workmanship is phenomenal. The detail in burl wood in the diamonds is interesting to study.
The length is just right! I like the thick piece of wood you used for the handle. I have a big hand; the handle is just the way I would have custom made it. It is so nice when everything works out right.
I like your packaging. Thanks again for a good job on the cane.
Dennis

Sheila from, Seattle WA, USA
