CARVING A MAPLE AND OAK CANE

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

Welcome to another walking stick / cane wood carving video. In this one I created a cane from a maple stick with a red oak top. This looks a bit like a Bata or a Shillelagh. This one started as a shorter piece of maple stick. In the video I take you through the steps I followed to carve the details and designs into this cane. Finished off with some Teak oil and bees wax and you can see the beautiful grain.

    You’re welcome! I used to have many questions about the tools, so it made sense to list them as they came up in the videos. Thanks for watching

    Turned out really sweet,Jason. The oak topper really adds a lot to the piece.

    Thank you very much! I appreciate it. It needed something on top and the oak piece adds a nice contrast

    I love the spiraling. That design is right up my alley. I do a little wood carving and I love the Celtic style. I've carved several spoons and a wooden bottle with a basket weave. I find that you use a lot of tools that I don't have. I'm a female, I don't have the strength, nor the types of wood you use. I live in a house located in a remote and secluded area surrounded by a lot of trees. I don't know what kind of trees they are, some are birch, some are evergreens. I love the walking stick! It's beautiful!

    Thank you very much. Glad you liked it. I try and use whatever I find, and keep little scrap pieces from different projects.

    Excellent video, love the spiraling effect on the stick. Great tip on the fine steel wool prior to the teak oil application. I'm wondering if you use other products for finishing or strictly use teak oil? Thanks again and Happy New Year!

    Thanks! I've used teak oil, Danish oil, polyurethane and just wax... I like how the oil finishes leave the wood.

    @@JasonHedrich Thanks for the quick reply, I've been using polyurethane for my walking sticks and it's time to try something else... Teak oil it is. With Christmas season over, I'll be going out in my neighborhood and picking up a discarded Christmas tree or two for my next walking stick project.

    Hey @JasonHedrich my wife has been using a lot of you patterns on her walking sticks. She is wanting to know where you find your nice round stock for your sticks

    Great to hear, glad she enjoys the videos. The sticks are found in the forests near me and I work them round with spokeshaves and alot of sanding. I will occasionally use dowels from wood suppliers if I need perfectly straight pieces

    Hello, I have a question about maple wood, can I carve it in fresh wood or is it better to leave it to dry? If so, how long does it take to dry?

    @@witosaw8031 thank you. It's always best to let the wood dry before carving it. You run the chance of it cracking during the drying process and ruining the carving. The normal dry time is around a year for a normal sized walking stick...
