A tradition of creating walking sticks and canes from the Constitution's original wood extends back into the mid-19th century. This practice would have likely continued following her massive restoration in the 1920s. In fact, wood from the venerable frigate is still used today whenever it is replaced.

Moderate nicks and dings from use.
