Scottish Canes

[Woodsheal]

I do have one of the Irish blackthorn sticks, and usually carry with me when I go walking. I really don't think it's meant to be a cane, but a weapon. It's hard as a rock, and the knobby end would definitely deal somebody - or some obnoxious dog - a shrewd knock...!

Here's an open invitation to all Xmarkers...come hiking with our group in Montreat, NC any time this summer and I'll cut you a walking stick...your choice of sassafras, oak, or maple...Scot free! (can I say that?)
