Carved Snake Walking Stick

Wow! Just finished a Carved Snake Walking stick that a person has placed an order for.

I tried something new. I painted a layer of color on this walking stick before I applied the layers of poly. I like the way it looks, what do you think?

I just wish my picture taking skills were a little better.

Any comments would be appreciated.

Not A Good Day For Stick Hunting

Yesterday, I had a bit of bad luck cutting sticks. I mean I had good luck finding the sticks, however not so good luck cutting the sticks. I was cutting the very last stick of the day and got in just a little bit of a hurry.

One slip of the saw and I was regretting being so careless. The saw slipped and cut my left wrist. Blood went everywhere. Stick cutting ended and I had make a trip to the doctor to have my arm sewed up.
