nice to see your branching out 😊 i made one and used some acorn leafs off a tree as templates for the stick and carved around them

[@fishtank5050]

Branching out..🤣🤣you stick to your metal projects 😁👍

Looks great, mate. God bless you and your family. Lee

Thank you 😊

"At the end of the day it's just a stick." Great line.

[@fishtank5050]

Just a stick is correct 👌

I made myself a walking stick and cane similar to that one last summer with the 'swirling' rings. Not as nice looking as that, but since Oct of 2022, I have had to use the cane many times and I never had any idea that I would. I still cannot walk well, but hope to be able to do so soon so I can get back to my wood projects, too! *Billy Allen ll, F.Book :)

Thanks Billy hope you get sorted and get back to better health 👍

[@fishtank5050]

[@kevinhoeg]

Nice...I like your how you went about creating it.

[@fishtank5050]

Thank you I appreciate your comment 👍

[@KerfMan]

Nice Shane! A lot of patience with that project!

[@fishtank5050]

Thanks Vinnie once I'm in the zone its not so bad 😁👍

[@peterwhitehead34]

Wow didn't expect that from you, Nice change though. It must have taken you a few hours and those carving burrs don't take prisoners if your not careful 🤣🤣👍.

[@fishtank5050]

Thanks Peter, it was a nice wood to carve in the end, not the staff I had in mind but we got something at the end..🤣🤣

Sweet walking stick

[@fishtank5050]

Thanks Brent, it didn't really go to plan,but it worked out in the end 😁👍

[@robertjohnson9525]

I've done the same basic thing but instead of using the dremel I used a wood gouge on one and a pocket knife on the other one.

[@fishtank5050]

Thanks Robert 😁 👍

[@jB-uw8fi]

I don’t know about that species, but most species I encounter are a heck of a lot easier to strip the bark with a knife while it’s freshly cut, then dry it.

[@fishtank5050]

Definitely, I cut it down and forgot all about it at the back of the shed..it had plenty dust on it..🤣

[@user-vm3bo6eq1d]

I think it is from a wild olive tree with a very hard wood...you know all olive tree varieties are grafted on a wild one.

[@fishtank5050]

@@user-vm3bo6eq1d it's definitely from a hollybush I cut it myself 👍

[@markduggan3451]

It looks great, maybe put a leather lace on the top.

[@fishtank5050]

Cheers Mark I did think about the leather lace, it nearly had a skull on top..🤣👍

[@markduggan3451]

@@fishtank5050 that would have been really cool.

[@paulstrange6654]

Hi I’m making a bird table and the post I’m going to use for the stand isn’t completely straight I was thinking of trying to use your method on the post to make it more interesting, Do you think it would work any suggestions would be appreciated

[@fishtank5050]

Cool idea,it's alot of work at the time but the end result will look different, and I like different..

[@Midnight_BRAZIL]

Would you say a single Dremel burr was enough to carve the whole staff after you removed the yellow tape? Do you remember?

[@fishtank5050]

Yes a single bit will do the whole piece, then sanding drums to sand with 😁👍

[@Midnight_BRAZIL]

@@fishtank5050 Awesome, thanks!!
