Walking staff

[ROBBYBOBBY64]

I made walking staff out of hard wood maple(like butcherblock wood) and walnut. I worked the shaft with a pattern for grip. It is well oiled and bees waxed. I finished off the bottom with an alpine spike. Kind of like an irish fighting stick. Great for the loose dirt on the hills in the creeks any where i go, it goes. Of course like Theodore Roosevelt once said..."Walk softly and carry a big stick".

No not really i do alot of wood carvings. A walking stick is a walk in the park. Here is a few of my crazy creations.

Above.- Pin oak walking stick. Removing the bark was like pulling teeth.

Below is various heads in driftwood and pine knots.

This one below is a 300 year old pine knot. Yes i counted the rings with a jewelers loupe.

Thankyou Troutmaster08. I like to keep the wood natural. No paint or stain. It keeps me busy on a rainy day.
