Walking stick parts

Does anyone know of any suppliers of walking stick components/supplies
in the USA? I've found a few suppliers in the UK, but shipping would
seem to be murder.

I think they're USA based. I seem to recall having gotten a catalog once
upon a time.

Oops, this is what I was thinking of, but couldn't find in my bookmarks.
Of course it may not be what you want.

Thanks. I'm quite aware of Lee Valley (I just received an order from
them last Saturday), but I was more interested in the horn, and some
wood.

They are clearing out a lot behind my house, and I snagged some nice
hazel branches to make canes. Unfortunately, after getting all in the
mood for making some sticks, I discovered that the wood is supposed to
dry for about a year. After putting my pieces in the rafters, I decided
to go looking for something to practice on.

They're Canadian but they ship to the US.

Not USA based, but Lee Valley Tools still an appreciated dealer to
woodworkers in the US.
