Unique Properties: The walking sticks are made to perfection of best quality red or white oak. Handles can have a C shape or a T shape. Walking sticks for men have a diameter of 25 mm; walking sticks for women are a little slimmer: 22 mm of diameter. The oak is FSC certified. All the handles of our walking sticks are reinforced with jacaranda paulista (Machaerium villosum), a Brazilian native wood. The walking sticks are finished, basically, with tung oil. The replaceable tips are made of aluminum and laminated rubber.

Production Technology: The walking sticks are produced by fine artisans with regular woodworking machines and techniques, plus a CNC router to shape them and the MDF package. The replaceable tips are made of aluminum and laminated rubber. The aluminum parts are produced in a CNC lathe and anodized in black. The scientific names of the two woods are laser engraved. The walking sticks are finished with tung oil. The oak is FSC certified.
Design Challenge: Very few things are older in the history of humankind than a walking stick. At the present time, it was a real challenge to create something just a little better or slightly different from many many walking sticks. Having said that, I think I have created a walking stick that gathers several qualities: beauty, warmth, discretion, lightness, durability, and good design.
Research: I basically researched on the Internet. I saw thousands of walking sticks/canes before start making my own designs. From the very beginning, I wanted to have a walking stick: (1) of solid wood, (2) pleasant to touch, (3) with a decent tip (4) durable. The walking sticks are made of laminated oak and jacaranda paulista. The purpose: no joins, stability, and strength. The walking sticks have non slippery, replaceable and elegant tips.
Inspiration: I have been making fine furniture for almost 4 decades. Some old clients became my friends, and every now and then asked me to make a walking stick. I made one, two, three, and realized that there is not an actual fine walking stick in the market, in Brazil or abroad. That was my inspiration. The C handle is a classic. The T handle is my design.
Project Duration: The project started in Sao Paulo in January 2016 and ended in São Paulo in January 2021.
Operation Flow: Oak wood is a very special material for the walking sticks: it is strong, beautiful, warm in the winter, fresh in the summer. I have heard from many buyers: "I love my walking stick. When I am not walking with her, I have her on my lap” or “I love to have my walking stick in my hands, even when I am not using it”.
