Keith Pickering produces exquisite hand-made walking sticks which are both decorative and functional. Birds, fish and animals are the usual subjects, hand carved in native hardwoods, mounted on finest hazel shanks cut from the ancient woodlands around Helmsley in North Yorkshire. Dogs, cats and horses are a speciality, carved and painted in the likeness of your own favourite animal (send photos). Thumbsticks, hiking sticks and plain walking sticks are kept in stock or made to order. Note: The sticks are individually hand-crafted - they are not the cheap plastic-handle versions that you can buy for £10 ($15) at the supermarket! |

Keith has made several sticks for film, TV and theatrical productions. The most famous is the 'magical' walking stick in the "Nanny McPhee" films, starring Emma Thompson. Click
here to see more about the making of the stick
Sticks have also been made for the TV shows "Emmerdale" and "Heartbeat" and numerous stage shows. I was also commisioned to make a special crook for the new Bishop of Durham, Justin Welby. He wanted an African Rock Hyrax carving on the horn crook - a reminder of his days working in a mission in Africa. I said it would look like a mouse and I wasn't wrong!
