Default Just knots??

Last wk here in our little town we had our Covered Bridge Celebration. Our covered bridge was build in 1882.There was bands & music plus activities for four days.

Last Sat. night while walking through the park to the bridge I spotted a broken limb off a sycamore tree. So on our way home that night,I picked it up and tossed it in the back of my truck.

Pealing off some of the dead bark,there was tons of knots. Cut one end off to make a handle for the cane and carved a bear & old trapper in the butt ends{pure hard knots}

So this is my knotted celebration walkn cane. Thks' for allowing me to show it here. Ole Tenn~

That's a fine looking cane Tenn, seems strange sometimes, that other folk just can't see all the critters hiding in a stick or branch just waiting to be uncovered.......guess that makes us the lucky ones huh?
Thanks for sharing
John
