SIMPLE WALKING STICK PATTERN - carving

[@hamidshah902]

Wonderful walking stick,👍👍👍

[@JasonHedrich]

Thank you very much!

[@marknettles]

I think this is a fantastic piece. The patterns are very cool and I appreciate your overall vision of it. There is something special about working with wood that has always drawn me to it artistically. It certainly started with a knife and stick when I was a youth., but I quickly realized that there was so much more.

[@JasonHedrich]

Thank you very much! Wood is special and unique. No two pieces are alike. Thanks for watching

[@gurluvgod777]

looks like a butterfly wing at the top so cool

[@JasonHedrich]

oh nice, I had never thought of it like that! Glad you enjoyed it

[@rumpple4skin976]

that's a great design I like it and fairly simple too

[@JasonHedrich]

yes, an easier weekend project. The nice grain in the wood helped this pattern stand out as well.

Brilliant idea with the stencil! Love the channel! 👍👍

[@JasonHedrich]

Thank you very much!

[@trevorwalters7978]

Simply ACE. 👍🇬🇧🙋🏻‍♂️

[@JasonHedrich]

Thanks! I think it came out pretty well

[@fredlennox1861]

Love the pattern, came out great. But for me I think I would have started the pattern a little lower so your hand would be contacting a smooth surface. The pattern might cut into your hand after a while of walking. Again great idea, it's a good looking stick. 👍

[@JasonHedrich]

@@fredlennox1861 thanks, the edges are smooth but I see your point. The pattern did look nice on that stick

Very cool idea thank you for sharing

[@JasonHedrich]

glad you liked it! Thanks for watching!

An easy weekend build… glad you enjoyed it

[@bnelson313braveheart]

Looks great!

[@JasonHedrich]

Thanks! I appreciate it

[@donaldmcdaniel1773]

very nice!

[@JasonHedrich]

Thank you!

[@russellyoung9520]

You should have done the pattern all the way down, looks good.

[@JasonHedrich]

I have the same idea in mind for another stick. It came out better than I thought, the wood grain helped a lot as well. Thanks!

[@laurokatsumi2531]

Excelente trabalho. Parabéns

[@JasonHedrich]

Thank you!

[@kevinhoeg]

I like that tip...re: straightening the stick.

[@JasonHedrich]

Thanks, it bent a little since but overall it worked. I’m sure using a steam box would have worked as well

[@christinakindler9112]

Really pretty wood, I like the simplicity of the Honeycomb pattern and yet it has a big impact. Which bit are you using to lightly carve the pattern?

[@JasonHedrich]

Yes, this was also a piece of butternut... a little bit harder to work with but the colors are fantastic. I used an HSS Ball burr in the rotary tool. Seemed to work well in the wood.

[@christinakindler9112]

@@JasonHedrich I like the way the bit didn't seem to gouge the wood. It turned out great

[@JasonHedrich]

@@christinakindler9112 yes, a light touch and multiple passes to get the depth you need works well. The HSS burrs leave a smooth finish I find.

Hey man, I just got into Wood Carving. I'm wondering what's a Good Beginner kit that isn't too expensive. some tips would be helpful too!

[@JasonHedrich]

Thanks for watching, and thank you for writing to me! You dont even need a kit to start, just pick up a single good Flexcut carving knife and start from there. I carved for years with nothing more than a utility blade and a single carving chisel. You can expand your tools as you go. I have a few other videos where I'm using some basic tools to carve my sticks. Hope this helps and good luck with the carvings!

[@stephenparkin9855]

i put sticks beetween two bolted planks.for a year it keeps em pretty straight.

[@JasonHedrich]

Nice, I didn't have a year to wait but your way surely worked well!

[@stephenparkin9855]

@@JasonHedrich nowt wrong with your stick at all.carving very clever.i normaly do thumbsticks and finish with shotgun brasses on top

[@JasonHedrich]

​@@stephenparkin9855nice, I like the shotgun brass design

[@jandejager7673]

Dear sir, I am a great admirer about the bird heads you make ( I also want to pursue this) I love Walnut fon't know if it will work for this?

[@JasonHedrich]

Thank you! You can use walnut for the bird head carving, the grain is beautiful and the wood is somewhat easy to carve

[@josephinelynngipson1162]

so you finish your stick with oil? i use food coloring to dye mine then when i put the clear coat on it ruins it. so sad, very good job sir

[@JasonHedrich]

@@josephinelynngipson1162 teak, Danish or linseed oil works well as a finish. Maybe the dye you used interacted with the clear coat. Watch if it’s water based or oil based polyurethane

[@russn7995]

Do you need to strap the green sticks down like that or will they bend as they dry out?

[@JasonHedrich]

this one was bent from the start, so I tried to strap it down to make it "straighter". It mostly worked but it still has a bit of a bend in it.

[@joejoe9498]

Very beautiful! May I ask the name of the tool you used to carve in the grip design?❤️

[@JasonHedrich]

Thank you! I used a rotary tool (Dremel) to carve out the details. Hope that helps.

[@offairhead]

I’ve never worked with butternut or heard of anyone I know working with it or known of it growing here (in Texas), where are you that this was growing?

[@JasonHedrich]

its in the North-Eastern US and Canada, its related to walnut.

[@offairhead]

@@JasonHedrich very interesting. How did it feel to work with? I also do wood burning,…. I am going to have to find someone who has burned it and see how it did.

[@JasonHedrich]

@@offairhead it was very nice wood... harder than I expected though. I tried carving with my knives but it worked better with the rotary tool.

[@tomevans4402]

Love it

[@JasonHedrich]

Thank you!

[@Pennyg0785]

What’s the name of the tool you’re using to scrape off the bark?

[@JasonHedrich]

Hi, I alternate between the spokeshave and a draw-knife… thanks for watching

[@TheOneCCM]

What's that first tool called you used to scrape off the bark?

[@JasonHedrich]

That’s a spokeshave… great tool. Thanks for watching

[@ItchyThirdEye-j6u]

Nice

[@JasonHedrich]

thanks!

[@OCMOOO]

4:13 Sorry to ask but what kind of tool are you using here?

[@JasonHedrich]

Thats a rotary tool (Dremel type) with a flexible shaft extension. You can use different 1/8" shaft bit for grinding, shaping or polishing... Thanks for watching

[@davidsteg9757]

What tools do you use to debark

[@JasonHedrich]

If it’s still green, just a knife can peel the bark off. When it’s dry, I’ll use a spokeshave and drawknife to debark the sticks. Hope that helps

[@Vermonster551]

What do you use to whittle it in the beginning?

[@JasonHedrich]

At first, I use a combination of spoke shave and a drawknife to get the bark off and reduce the diameter to what I need

[@kevinhiggenbottom8339]
