Devil's Walking Stick, (Aralia spinosa), is a small to medium sided tree that is native in the southeast United States and especially here, and throughout Arkansas.  Also known as the False Elderberry Tree by mountain folks it shares a close kinship with English ivy, Ginseng and the houseplant Schefflera.  It is known to get up to thirty feet tall.  I have never seen a tree larger than eight to ten foot.  Tree of any size that could be used for canes are  rare and found only on rough ground and along the sides of low gullies (coolies), and hill sides.  Occasionally if your lucky you will see a stand along side a country road, and be able to get a least one or sometimes two good shafts.    Around this part of the world here in the Ozark Mountains and in Southern United States this small tree is used for walking sticks, and canes.  With a nice spine or sticker on opposite sides of the shaft about every six to eight inches the Devil's Walking sticks make for a nice cane with no two ever looking alike.  Great character in each canes' finish.  The canes are sometime known as Hercules Clubs due to the fact that each truly good cane has a nice bulbous root ball on the end or top.. Very durable, and stiff but extremely light weight.  This cane is a very nice piece of wood
