Really cool. Looks like some of the best from Appalachian art. What are tobacco sticks, made from the tobacco plant?

the sticks were hewn from hardwood trees and were used to spear the plants and hang them to cure in barns - several plants on each stick, hung from the rafters in the barns. The sticks were used for the fence and the X's on the planter boxes.
