WALKING STICK WITH A TWIST

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

This week we are working with a beautiful piece of cherry. This stick has some amazing colors and patterns and not much has to be done to enhance its beauty. We carve a twist, some woodburning and add a new lanyard style and stick to the end and I show you an easy way to polish hardwood and produce a glass like finish! Hope you like the build and let me know your thoughts.

    i like my walking sticks that reach the top of my head so it doesnt jam under my jaw in case i slip or fall and also like a bolt or metal for good foot instead of the rubber. tight lines!

    @@JasonHedrich Yes, that is a sad story. The dying and deaths of our loved ones as such impactful times in our lives. I find walking stick and staffs to be meaningful and symbolic too. I have three large clay pots as holding stands; one holds about a dozen walking sticks, another holds about 10 long staffs, and the third has several each. I have carved symbols and symbolic patterns on many of them. My mum and dad's walking sticks are among them, a friend's fencing quarterstaff who passed away that her sister gave to me. Every stick and staff is meaningful. They remind me of the 23rd psalm.

    Just out of a hot bath on a cold day over on the northeast coast England, Logged onto the KZread and then found your vid. Magic, a really well presentation of making a walking stick. I'm normally making alsorts in wood, currently making sets of drawers, dolls houses and miniature shops pus lots more. After watching a clip the other week making sticks, thumb sticks started to look for material while out and about. Found a few items of all shapes and sizes brought them home so here we go on another adventure in something completely the opposite to what I normally work, play with. Thank you for a great vid and will let you know how I get on with sticks. Take care from the UK. Peter

    I hiked for 19 km. in the Himalayas and after 12 hours non stop reached Kedarnath temple with a help of stick like the one you fashioned. The stick was of great use and due to the support I did not get any back pain. After returning I presented the stick to my father and he used it for some time and presented it to his friend telling that the stick got sanctified as it visited many holy spots.

    Yes, that was a Microplane. I bought at a local woodworking store but the can be found online as well. The handle I made myself out of a scrap piece of cedar 2x4 I had left from the Greenland Paddle build. The microplane is screwed into the cedar handle, it is rigid enough that I didn’t have to worry about tensioning it after attaching it to the handle. It works well for shaping wood. Hope that helps a little

I love to carve Celtic symbols, basket weaves, etc. I want to learn how to Chip Carve. I have had a subscription to Woodcarving Illustrated for years. I've got a walking stick and started to carve it. I'd like to carve a wood spirit as a handle. I don't know how I want it to be carved.

I need to go down to clean up my 20 years of collections. My husband's been in the hospital off and on for about a year trying to fit off an infection. He's now in a nursing home for rehabilitation. He doesn't know if he'll be able to live in the house. It's at least 100 years old and in need of several repairs. When we moved in I had a lot of ideas for restoring it.

    I really learned a couple excellent tricks from this guy. I really liked the piece of paper he used for doing the math on a basket weave stick. He used hand tools and I only used hand tools to make two different sticks with his lessons. You will seriously enjoy and learn no power tools are needed for making a basket weave. You don't need a drill or Dremel just skip it and chisel it. You will surprise yourself. Have fun and the first step is the hardest but it's addictive once you get bite. Good luck

    Do you ever consider removing the bark when it is still green and then drying it because it is easier to remove then? When I made walking sticks ( not as fancy as yours!) I had a devil of a time removing the bark when the stick was dry as opposed to when the bark was green. It probably would have helped if I had more than wood saw and a larger pocket knife! LOL!

    I made a lovely hickory hiking staff that I put to use but being in a hurry, I hadn’t put any sort of lanyard on it. Took it on its first hike, bushwhacking looking for a path down to a creek bed. We came to a 50 foot drop off, no way down. As we dropped our packs to scout the area, I laid my new stick down, only to have it sail off the edge! D’OH! I came back the next weekend with rappelling gear and got it back. It has a lanyard on it now 😂.
