Pair of Walking sticks

[oman 23]

Hi all just got a few more sticks that we have made just looking some feedback on what you think. Any feedback would be great. Tony

Nice and simple and I bet they are very comfortable in the hands. (perhaps not simple to carve!)

 

What wood have you carved them from, and how long did each one take to do the heads?

[paulus 26]

nice to see hand carved rather than painted resin, well done mate.

Hi Oman,

I really like those two sticks,the joints are great and I like the Buffalo horn/white bone spacers used together.

What timber did you carve the duck and dog out of? and are they on Hazel shafts?

Well Done, Two fine examples.

Neil.

Hi both made from a broken gun stock below are some pictures. Anyone with any ideas what the wood would be.

Yes both are hazel shanks

The easy answer would be to say turkish walnut, but the honest answer is I havn't a clue. You have got me massively interested in having a go myself though, over winter. Thanks for the idea.

yea its something you get really into. i took pictures at each stage and it is great to see the stick from the start to finish

Oman. What tools did you use after cutting out the heads. Was it rasps and knives, or special carving tools?

Thank you.

Hi it was carved using rasps, files and knives. No special carving tools used all items that you would find in your shed. The only other tool that i used was a dremel to shape the mouth and eyes on the duck. Have you tried any yet.

Thanks. No I haven't tried yet, but I have managed to get a couple of old stocks, both of which are solid.

 

Not sure what design I'm going to try, but something very simple to start with!!
