Am enjoying the walking stick guides guides. They are helpful and I am sure saving me some steps. I
have a question...how do you determine how far from the top of the stick to
place the strap / wrist hold when making the hiking stick? I have a guess but hate to drill out my first
stick and put it in the wrong place. thanks, Aaron
There are several methods of determining the correct placement of your walking and hiking stick strap hole. Stand up straight in the shoes you normally wear when hiking. Bend you elbow slightly more than 90 degree angle (slight angle up) and hold the walking stick you are are making. Where you hand rests is where the bottom of hiking sick staff strap should reach than you slide you hand through. In other words, when you hand is in the strap your elbow should be at a very slight angle up. Depending upon how long your strap will be will determine how far above this point you drill the hole. Remember comfort and push off when using you stick. It’s easier to push off with your stick if you elbow starts at a slight angle up. If you snow ski it’s the same method used when selecting your poles sizes.
The walking sticks guides will teach you how to make a variety of walking stick straps including rope weaving, strap making and more. Thank you for your question concerning the placement of your walking stick making project hand strap.
