Does anyone know of any suppliers of walking stick components/supplies
in the USA? I've found a few suppliers in the UK, but shipping would
seem to be murder.

Not USA based, but Lee Valley Tools still an appreciated dealer to
woodworkers in the US.

Thanks. I'm quite aware of Lee Valley (I just received an order from
them last Saturday), but I was more interested in the horn, and some
wood.

They are clearing out a lot behind my house, and I snagged some nice
hazel branches to make canes. Unfortunately, after getting all in the
mood for making some sticks, I discovered that the wood is supposed to
dry for about a year. After putting my pieces in the rafters, I decided
to go looking for something to practice on.
