A word from traditional walking stick maker, Paul Chapman: “Welcome to Hinterland Woodcarving and Walkingsticks, where craftsmanship and nature come together. I’m Paul Chapman, and my journey with woodcarving started long before I ever picked up a carving tool.
Growing up in the British countryside, I always had a stick in my hand during outdoor adventures. To me, a well-used walking stick is more than just a tool; it carries the memories of past journeys and becomes an extension of yourself and your identity. I’ve spent years refining my skills through a variety of projects in different styles.
After relocating to Australia in 2014, I continued my love for carving, seeking out the best local timbers and learning from a supportive community of craftsmen. Over time, I’ve built a collection of hand-carved walking sticks—each one a unique, functional piece of art designed to turn heads. Whether you’re seeking a personal keepsake or a beautiful, practical tool, I am proud to offer quality walking sticks that celebrate craftsmanship and the spirit of adventure.”
