>I recently seen a walking stick that has one continous groove about 1 1/2 inches wide from top to bottom of the stick. Does anyone know how this was made, do I need a specific/special turning tool? Thanks

>Your description comes up a little short for us to be able to visualize what you are describing. Do you mean a spiral groove? A picture would be helpful.

>Two possibilities come to mind. First, it could be a natural occurrence, usually caused by a honeysuckle vine growing around the small tree that the stick was made from. Second, it could have been done on a legacy mill. It's really easy to tell the difference :^)
