Beech Wood Crook Tippling Stick

A stick with a difference

What looks like an elegant, classic beech wood crook handled walking stick, actually hides a secret tippling stick. The crook handle unscrews to reveal an internal glass phial with a cork plus two brass thimbles.

1. #Dimensions#
   The dimensions of the tippling cane are:
   ~ Length is 92cm
   ~ Weight is 475g
   ~ The stick diameter at the top just under the handle is 28mm and tapers down to 25mm at the ferrule end.
   ~ It is fitted with a metal ferrule.
   ~ Will fit a "C25" or "D25" type rubber ferrule size 25mm internal diameter.
2. #Measuring & Shortening#
   We offer a FREE stick shortening service, just enter the length required in the box at checkout. Please note we cannot refund or exchange walking sticks that have been shortened, as these have been personalised for you.
   
   To measure someone for a walking stick, ask them to stand with their weight evenly on both feet, looking straight ahead and with their arms relaxed by their sides. You then need to measure from the floor to the prominent bone of the wrist. This is the length of walking stick required. Please note this is just a rule of thumb. If the person has special needs, they may need to be measured by a medical professional. Alternatively they may have personal preferences for a longer or shorter walking stick.
   
   We measure our sticks from the top curve of the handle, where the palm rests to the bottom of the ferrule. We cut the stick 0.5cm shorter than the length required to allow for the depth of rubber in the ferrule.
