How I Made The Old Rugged Cross Walking Stick

[@Kevscancave]

Great job Dennis! Turned out beautiful. I like the drilling “tip” you recommended. I’m guilty of punching through … sometimes no matter how careful I am Thanks! 👍😎👍

I would sure like to have an Old Rugged Cross walking stick. I think we live within driving distance. It would of course be at your convenience. Thank you! Jim

Thanks for your comment, Grumpy. The Old Rugged Cross sticks are available at Shady Oak Market, 22672 Highway 25, Bloomfield, MO 63825. About 11 miles north of Dexter, MO, or about a half mile south of Aquala, MO. It's a great place to have lunch also. The owners name is Darrell. Tell him I sent you if you go. Thanks for your comment, Grumpy.

Thanks I will call before going. I don’t mind driving a couple of hours, unless no inventory. Have a good one!

What did you use for sawdust? Glue spray?

[@OzarkArtsandCrafts]

CA (Cyanoacrylate Adhesive) It is a form of "super glue". It comes in thin, medium, and thick. For sawdust, in most instances, I use the thin. It is available on Amazon.

I was in tree service for 30 years and I would always make a 2 foot cross in the stump with my chainsaw and if they wanted it gone I would cut closer to the ground then take my saw and in grave a cross in that stump. One time before I knew any thing about Muslim I was cutting a big cross in a flat stump next to a big man chin by their eating room window and I heard a bunch of noise and looked up and their was about 4 or 5 people waiving their arms and they was saying no no no I didn’t know what all it was about . The guy come out and said cut all that out and I asked him why he is so bad about a cross and he started on and on way above my head but I caught just about enough that they don’t believe in it and here I’m not very bride I asked how do u get along living in the usa because we believe in it. I had the tree down on the ground and some of it cleaned but far from finished and he come back out with my check and said he will finish it up . I said see praise god I’m getting a blessing because i believe in him god Bess u folks and told my guys get loaded up we are out of here. I ever got any more call from them but I survived with out them for years so I figured I’ll b ok with out them

Wow! Appreciate you sharing your story.

Very nice Dennis! Love the cross and the scripture. I've done one similar and used the wood burner, but it does take longer with the wood burner.

Thanks for your comment, Steve. I would love to see the one you made. I’ll go do some searching for it.
