Also I’m approaching 40 years old. I still keep every great stick I find. Some find their way into the fire pit. Others are still used as walking sticks and fire pokers. Some shaved down nice and smooth. Others still with their bark.
My frontyard maples gave me a great staff two years ago? If I were a wizard that’d be a huge gift. No treesinging needed.
