Who Can Use the Chestnut Long Shepherd's Crook?

The Chestnut Crook's extra long length and anchoring metal ferrule make it a fantastic walking aid for those who enjoy leisurely strolls through the countryside, but this also makes it ideal as a traditional shepherd's crook. Waving sheep from one position to another has never been easier with this rustic walking stick.

Longer Reach

With a longer length than the original Chestnut Shepherd's Crook, the Chestnut Long Shepherd's Crook gives your arm a more desirable reach in shepherding and hiking tasks. While herding sheep to go into a trailer or pen, or turn at a crossing, this longer variant helps you block them off and steer them in the direction you want them to go.

Handmade Heritage

This rustic chestnut crook is not just made, it is grown! The ancient technique of coppicing involves cutting back the source trees about a metre back from the ground, stimulating the growth of new shoots which grow to an appropriate diameter for a walking stick.

Rustic Appearance

This stick is made from lightweight yet strong chestnut wood which is flame-scorched to bring out the grain and then polished for a unique finish. The signature curvature of its crook handle is both attractive and practical, allowing the stick to be hooked around the arm when not in use.

Sturdy Metal Ferrule

The Chestnut Shepherd's Crook comes with a metal ferrule as standard. Ideal for walking on soft ground, the metal ferrule provides good grip and protects the bottom of the stick against damage.
