jok 3,388 Posted January 27, 2016 Report Share Posted January 27, 2016 Well son. I will look for one on your behalf. I've a really nice staff, about 15 years old, which I am doing a mouse in a hole as the handle. Should be a bit good when finished. To me, Holly is incredible . Beautiful when polished up and the grain patterns are incredible. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
