Walking canes made from Prickly Ash are made from the stem with part of the root. The stem of the prickly ash makes a natural 90 degree bend at the root so therefore makes a natural handle. You might have to dig a few roots up to find the right bend though as not all are a nice looking 90 degree bend. When you're holding the handle of a Prickly Ash cane you're holding part of the root.
The "ash" of "ash tree" comes from an Old English word, "æsc," meaning "spear."
