Default 3 Sticks for Sister
Sister gives them away as Gifts. Everyone so far likes them. This makes 5 so far. They are made from Aspen, Sassafras, and Hickory. The 2 that are similar the tops are Poplar and then attached. Merle

Thanks Guys, I appreciate the nice words. Scott I used Blo and Feed and Wax. The 2 larger heads I highlighted the hair with White Acrylic paint. After I highlighted the hair I put another coat of Blo. That seems to soften things up a bit. Merle

Those are really nice and I like the contrast which is very eye-grabbing. Thank's for letting us take a look!
