For Daniel's Walking StickWhat a great four week journey working with Mahdee creating a beautiful unique hiking staff! Mahdee accepted the challenge of a crazy idea of mine to create an earthing (grounding) staff that I could use on my homestead and on casual walks.I could not find one anywhere until I stumbled across custommade.com, threw the idea out and linked up with a great craftsman like Mahdee.
We corresponded many many times over the 4 weeks as the work progressed. There were more details in building a staff like this than I imagined. Mahdee had many suggestions and questions, sending me photos of different alternatives and also sending photos of the work in progress. I always felt good about the project from start to finish.
The result: A great experience and a magnificent grounding hiking staff to be proud of. Thank you Mahdee, for your willingness to take on the challenge and your great craftsmanship in making my crazy idea become a wonderful reality.
