The pictures provided are from prior carved sticks and are examples of the type of stick that you will receive. You may get the one pictured or one that looks very similar. Having carved hundreds of these they have very few differences. Minor differences may show up in the slight bends in the wood and strokes of the cuts.
Wood types used are woods grown from the Ozarks such as hickory, elm, oak, dogwood, hawthorn, persimmon, and others.
