<HTML>I don't know how much this will help, but every major Renaissance Faire I've been to over the years usually has a shop set up featuring walking sticks. Beautiful and highly functional creations in all woods, shapes, sizes. Many Celtic, and the folks who run the shop spend time helping you pick out something that is the right height and weight for you. You might want to do something as simple as an internet search for "walking sticks," and see what you turn up!
If, in the meantime, I remember the name of the artisan, I'll post it!</HTML>
