Wooden shoulder stick with edge irons on either end. Both ends have a grooved and rounded piece of the stick protruding. On either side of the protrusions there are two levels of differing heights. The thinner of the two levels on either end is tallest, while the wider side of the iron is shorter. All ends are rounded off. The body of the stick has its edges shaved down so that the middle is slimmer than the ends.
