I have owned a couple bull sticks and they all have a jerky color they don't have a honey color to them.It is flesh after all, it won't stay light colored.

All kidding aside, I think it is a hand-carved/whittled stick, and since it is shiny it appears to have a polyurethane-like finish on it, which may contribute to the amber color.

If ya ask me...
And too bad if ya didn't... :P

It is a Folk Art walking stick.

I had the experience of witnessing the making of one of these "Walking sticks". Early 70's I was sent
to a slaughter house to see if I could get their boiler running.
It was very hot there and no air conditioning. There was a huge bull hanging from the ceiling
next door to me in plain sight. I can't describe the aroma.
I did notice on the wall a long piece of flesh with a bailing hook in the end weighting it down.
The owner came in, winked at me and asked "Ya know what this is? "No says I" "Well it's gonna be a buggy whip."
I just smiled and got a tad more distance.

I did have a new appreciation for the people that create our food.
Oh BTW it really didn't resemble the OP's stick.

All bull aside, I just want to know how long it is, lol. Seriously. Is it 30" or is it 15"?

Because we all know size matters...

Sorry. I couldn't help myself.

Breezie posts a " Pekker Chart !"

 

[Deftone]

Hard to say for sure but it looks only about 12 inches long...

I'm guessing its a native drum stick of some sort.

Another possibility could be a dancing stick.

Hey AARC, this thread gives new meaning to your little saying of, "Have permission... Fill holes... Dispose of trash."

I just figured this out...

Gear shift from the Adams Family Hot Rod... errr or was that The Munster's... ?

That's right! The OP hasn't made a post since the first one; he has no idea how much fun we are having with his stick!

Me neither.

 

[seekerGH]

There's a good reason women make poor carpenters.

There's a good reason women make poor carpenters.

Why, because all their lives, they have been told that this "................" is 6 inches?

Someone had a lot of notches carved on that stick...just sayin' ( one end is veeeerrry polished)

i sense something familiar here...
