Kinda reminds me of the first stick I ever owned.
At the time I had no idea of it's value.
I learned how to drag the stick across picket fences, disturb ant hills and chase neighborhood girls with it
as a youth with that stick. Sadly I modified the hell out of it then absentmindedly gave it away to a friend.
I've own numerous sticks since then and prefer the Made in the USA standard branches.
I also own travel twigs for when I take a trip.
I've seen one or two original sticks pop up for sale now and then but the price is way out of my budget.

I recently visited the inside of the Stick factory in downtown Woodplains, Montana
Here's a few pix. It is my understanding that the majority of sticks and twigs are now being imported from Indonesia.

Dear sir,

You're clearly very confused. I think you'll fit right in here.

When you write 'divining' rod, I'm sure you mean 'dividing' rod. We educated types call them Cuisenaire Rods. Yours may need some whittling, I imagine.

Regarding your 'switch'. This would need to be more flexible, to be true. It's more a cane, possibly a club.

Your next claim, that it may be a small piece of string from a guitar tree. Playing devil's Advocaat, it might also be a toggle or a wang bar but isn't it more like a giant swizzle-stick, really, when you think about it?

I have no argument with your last point. Not because you're right. My brain just left the building. It does that, from time to time.

If I have been of any assistance at all, and I doubt it, it was truly unintentional.


Oppositionally yours,

Tom

My good man, This is my story and I'm "Sticking" to it. :roflmao:

di·vin·ing rod
(dĭ-vī′nĭng)
n.
A forked branch or stick that is believed to indicate subterranean water or minerals by bending downward when held over a source.

How to Use Dowsing or Divining Rods


Before technology was developed that would allow us to "see" into the ground, people depended on dowsing (also known as divining or water witching) to find water wells, metals, gemstones, and even missing people and unmarked graves. Although dowsing has never been scientifically proven to work in a controlled setting, the practice remains popular in many parts of the world. You can use dowsing or divining rods by learning how to hold the rods properly. You can then use the rods to find water, locate lost objects, or determine the energy of a room or area.

And, I am sure you mean Devil's advocate.

As far as the original picture. I believe that may be a maple tree appendage or phalange. :thumbsup:
