Summers Crafts Signed Walking Stick Cat’s Eye Wood Burned 40"

Handcrafted walking stick by Summers’ Crafts (R. & J. Summers), signed and maker-marked, with original tag intact dating to circa early 2000s (©2001). This solid wood staff is carefully shaped and finished with multiple coats, as noted on the tag, and features hand-burned (pyrography) and subtle painted botanical designs—consistent with small-batch artisan production rather than mass manufacture.

The upper section is wrapped in a leather grip with wrist strap, designed for comfort and control during hiking. The top is set with a polished blue “cat’s eye” stone, a signature decorative element often used by the maker to distinguish pieces. Summers’ Crafts appears to have been a small independent workshop producing functional art walking sticks, likely sold at craft fairs or regional outdoor markets.

A practical yet collectible example of early 2000s American folk craft, appealing to both hikers and collectors of handmade outdoor gear.
