WE WOULD LIKE TO WISH ALL OUR CUSTOMERS A HAPPY AND PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR! The workshop will reopen on January 14th, following some refurbishment. We will still be processing online orders every few days and posting items in stock but will not be making anything new until the shop reopens on January 14th. |
The Online Shop is open every day - orders are taken and dispatched quickly if items are in stock. The Workshop in Helmsley is open most days (except Sundays) but during winter we don't keep regular hours - you should check before travelling far! We often close on Tuesdays and Saturday afternoons in winter, as well as Sundays. |

Keith Pickering produces exquisite hand-made walking sticks which are both decorative and functional. Birds, fish and animals are the usual subjects, hand carved in native hardwoods, mounted on finest hazel shanks cut from the ancient woodlands around Helmsley in North Yorkshire. Dogs, cats and horses are a speciality, carved and painted in the likeness of your own favourite animal (send photos). Thumbsticks, hiking sticks and plain walking sticks are kept in stock or made to order. Note: The sticks are individually hand-crafted - they are not the cheap plastic-handle versions that you can buy for £10 ($15) at the supermarket! |
