Joe,

I know of no better place for an aspiring stickmaker to find inspiration than the Gallery at American Stickmakers Association. With 60 albums and over 350 pictures I'm sure you will find something there to spark your imagination and creativity.

Guess that I'd have to agree with the man at the Expo and start with a woodspirit and keep at it until you've got it down good. I'm always looking for new ideas also and it's amazing what can be found by going to Ebay, Google, or even some of the free picture hosting sites like Webshots, etc., and entering keywords such as woodspirit, walking sticks, staff, walking cane, and you can probably think of a thousand other variations when your mind is cooperating :-)
