Sweet Chestnut
Sweet Chestnut wood is a popular choice for walking sticks due to its natural strength, durability, and high resistance to decay from its natural tannins, making it ideal for outdoor use. It is a strong and long-lasting hardwood that is easily shaped and can be sourced sustainably from managed coppiced woodlands. The wood offers a combination of strength, moderate hardness, and a lighter weight than some other woods, making it both robust and comfortable for walking sticks.
