As someone who comes from a family that makes life in the forest, I suggest that red maple, ash, walnut or birch. Pine and cedar are very mobile and easy to ruin, the oak is strong, but too heavy. Balsa is light, but slightly rotten. Plywood is impractical, because with a 4x8 foot sheet 3 / 4 inch plywood to make a stick, is not practicable. After the glue that the layers of the leaves is very moist, not the material. When selecting wood for walking stick, make sure that you do not have knots or knot holes. This is the weakest point of the wood, which would be most likely to the point where it breaks.
