FIRE Walking Stick - ash and epoxy 

This is exactly what I needed to solve the problem I ran into while doing a similar project, thanks so much!

this video what i’ve been looking for. You’ve given me some out of the box ideas that I hadn’t thought of. Thank you Sir!

Beautiful work, love the idea of using pigmented epoxy to fill the cracks artfully, I definitely am going to try out that technique on some of the sticks I’ve found!

Wow, very good job, it turned out very well, I really like the videos, you have very good ideas, thanks 👏

For filling in wood cracks, I just fill up a small sandwich bag about 1/3 full with whatever epoxy or glue I'm using, then I use scissors to cut off a bottom corner of the bag as small as I can where it will still come out, then fill em up! I find it to be the least messy and wasteful thing I've tried. You can get the tip of the bag to go IN the crack, then squeeze. 👍

Sweet walking stick I like it 👌

That is a beautiful piece!!!! I work with blackthorn and any cracks in my handles I fill with black tinted epoxy ...I must experiment with other colours

I like that the teak oil finish didn't darken the wood.

Love your work bro👍☘️

I have found throw away chopstick works great for mixing and applying epoxy

Great video and idea. I'm thinking red and blue.

Nice! Thanks

Great job thank you love your videos

The master 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

That is gorgeous

Great work man! Enjoyed the video

Looks great! Did you do the coloring all in one step or did you have to do it several times as you rotated around so it wouldn't drip?

Fantastic. Thank you for the Inspiration. I know it's 2 Years Old. I am now going to Refurbish my Sticks.

Looks like the head of a python. Very cool staff.

Great work again Mr Hedrich. Your videos have really inspired creativity in my stick making. I have a quick question if you don’t mind. I am creating a carved conductors baton for a graduation present. I am using your epoxy technique and then am going to varnish it. Do you have any tips about how to dry something that is only approx 15 inches long without spoiling the finish? I borrowed your hook technique for my sticks, but I’m not sure it will work in this case. Thanks.

How long did you season the ash stick for? Great work. Can't wait til my sticks are ready to work on.

Check out the video by Rob Cosman concerning wrapping tool handles with hockey tape. It is an inexpensive and practical alternative.

Have you ever tried using tru oil for you finish? I always use that on my walking sticks.

Have you tried driftwood for a hiking/ walking stick before?

How did you get the paracord securely set onto the staff?

Have you found out what kind of wood the first one is? How did it turn out? I found one similar to the one you have very light, bald/smooth and smells like lemon when cut.

When I tried using epoxy to fill the cracks in my stick, the wood expanded and pulled away from the epoxy. (because of heat). Has that happened to you?

This one could have been a cobra snake walking stick

I know I am a bit OCD about these things. Openings that run parallel to the grain, and caused by moisture loss are checks. Cracks are across the grain and caused by external stress. Sorry to be picky.

At first I thought it was a snake head
