Making walking sticks a labor of love for 2 Leos

LEBANON - Bob and Deb Dibiase of Lebanon are both Leos, so when they started selling knives and walking sticks they decided to call their business Lion, Sticks and Knives.

Not quite lions and tigers and bears but you get the picture.

Deb Dibiase was showing off some of her hand-finished walking sticks and canes at Lebanon's Green Love Celebration of medical marijuana on Saturday.

She said it can take hours and hours of painstaking work to produce the sticks, which are all natural and hand-lacquered.

She said some of the wood they find locally, but some is imported from western states and can be very expensive. She stressed that they never cut down wood to make a cane or walking stick.

The knives mostly come from New York suppliers, she said.
