finished walking stick

finished my stick off today...

another walking stick

ok,you guessed it ,i like walking sticks....
this one was a different project for me...ive been searching for a twisty(a stick thats being crushed by honeysuckle usually),the sapling or branch will eventually die,so i feel good that im able to get it to live through me...ive had a few twistys,but eventually give them away etc...so searching for one has been quite time consuming,it has to be right,ie straight,or not to bent,and really suitable for a walking stick...so i found a good one...after studying it at home,i thought i could carve something out of it...now ive never carved in my life i cant,but i did produce a carving,not sure what it is,but i see it as the spirit of the stick...so i call it a woodland spirit....
