Handcarved Walking Stick

Value = $75   Starting Bid = $50

Handcarved Walking Stick
Donated by Rev. Robin Hynicka


Making a beautiful handmade, handpainted walking staff is a lot of work, but Rev. Robin Hynicka, pastor of Arch St. United Methodist Church, was determined to finish this one in time for our auction -- and he did!


Strong and surprisingly light, with a perfectly shaped grip to fit your hand, this walking stick will steady you for your journey, wherever it leads. And with it's bright colors and decorative patterns, we think it would make an excellent, eye-catching addition to any of our upcoming rallies and marches!
