a trusty walking stick

[CMD]

Thanks to Jay we now have 2 proper walking sticks. Hoping to rustle up some OnewiththewiLD luck with these A horseshoe crab for Helen, an owl for myself. May I be wise once in a while :laugh: Also a bow and arrow, not seen, on mine. Thanks, Jay, great work!

just finished a smaller walking stick that"ll be a little easier to use on the beaches.made of sasaffras with inlayed wampum on the top ( my best attempt at it yet )woodburned symbols and a small deer antler piece to move brush aside.

Nice stick Jay. I like the eye guard: or maybe we should call it an ankle guard.

heres the new walking stick i just finished for fellow new englyndah cgode.more incentive to take the trip over to R.I.! 55 in. overall length , made of black ash with quahog inlay on the top,deer antler tine fingergrip off a shed i found, grooved handgrip, and some woodburning. it was alot of fun to make. the bottom has a nice gentle curve that i tapered down with a rasp and sandpaper. i also wood burned 1,2,and 3 ft. marks up the side.

im getting better at doin the inlayed quahog.i carve the top of the stick out first, then trace a piece of paper over the hole ,cut it out, then then i use that as a stencil on the shell.i finished the stick with a quick rub down coat of colonial maple stain, then i wipe off most of it. just enough to bring out the grain.then i seal it all up with linseed oil.

We don't have fields to walk, generally. I find a new walking stick when I hit the woods.  I'll use even a whimpy palm frond center to help lean over a bit.  I mostly use a stick to help the back and that's about the length of my arm..  I lean on a stick like in the center of my chest, LOL.
I've brought home a LOAD of walking sticks and they are piled in one spot in the garage.  Never put any work into them but maybe machete a point on the end and smoothing off the top.  I bring home vine-curled limbs and straight or odd shaped limbs.  Heck, I bring home all kinds of weird stuff, like coccoons, poke salet, driftwood, effigies.
