I like how you did this walking stick. Enjoyed your video. I'm basically a walking stick channel but would appreciate your visit sometime. Keep on, keeping on!
When marking a spiral on a stick I’ve found it simplest to use a string as a template to define the spiral. Once you have one you like mark with a pen or marker and commence carving.
If you're on the Eastern half of the US, Ligustrum vulgare (common privet) is an invasive exotic, but it also tends to grow so it makes long, straight poles, and the wood is very strong and flexible. It's only drawback is that it is dense. I have several staves 6-8" long just from my small yard.
Very cool walking stick! I tried my hand at carving with a dremel, but didn't have your good results. I've made a few, since then, with paracord wrapped for handle. Great job again!
That was a really cool looking dragon you doodled and carved into a walking stick with personal meaning for you. I like how fast it went compared to carving out the whole dragon like I've seen in other videos. Interesting-the connection between dragons and trees.....they both seem to "awaken the wild Soul".
Thank you, I love dragons, especially Asian or Chinese dragons for my designs. I definitely wanted to go all out with the carving of the design, but as I said, I'm lacking experience with the dremel, so I kept it simple and used ink to make the design pop. I got a new dremel recently, so in the future I may make more complex designs. 😀 I feel awaken the wild soul can mean something different to different people, so I think the name is really special! 💗
Thanks, I do enjoy carving with a knife when the wood is soft enough, has a lot more control. Bought a new Dremel so I'm looking forward to making some other things in the future. :)
