This is a stick. (Testing something, non-Valk, not political unless ya' make it)

To me it is of sufficient length, diameter and hardness to make a good woodknocker.  Take it out to any national or state forest and give a couple of really good whacks on a stout tree and you just may get a Bigfoot to respond to you.  I did this with 3 of my nephews ( we camped out ) one July night in the middle of the Huron National Forest, Oscoda County, Michigan.  We did not get one to knock back.  Instead one threw a rock at us.  It freaked my one nephew out pretty good.
