In Finland,
we do not have wood that grows with such interesting characteristics.
Al
cut the length to match my exact height, and I am delighted to find
that even the hand-hold position is correct in my case, though I realize
that is not something Al can always guarantee. I provided him with
my measurements and he did the rest, and it turned out perfectly with
a precise position for my grip. My hiking stick is truly one of a
kind and fits correctly.
Finland is
a nation of hikers and walkers -- Al's work passes "the Finland
test." I cannot imagine a better hiking stick. I can walk with
it all day without getting tired. I believe that anyone, not just
hikers, would enjoy owning a hiking stick made by Al.
