Oak
Oak wood is an excellent choice for walking stick handles due to its strength, density, durability, and rot resistance, providing a sturdy, long-lasting, and reliable companion for everyday use. Its beautiful, distinctive grain offers a pleasant aesthetic, and the wood's natural density makes it highly resistant to impact, splintering, and damage from insects and fungi. Oak's hardwearing properties ensure it can withstand the demands of daily use and even look better with age.
