Chestnut Shepherd's Crook, jointed. Two Piece Stick. The elegantly shaped shepherd's crook has long been a favored country stick and was originally used by shepherds to catch members of their flock by hooking it around their necks. This extra long version in chestnut wood is fitted with a joint in the middle so that it may be unscrewed and transported in two parts, which is convenient when traveling. It is fitted with a smart metal ferrule. The overall height is approximately 168cm (66 inches). Color variations in each natural wood we carry on this item.
