 Walking Stick with Many Faces I got this Walking Stick about 2 yrs. ago feeling that I wanted to put faces all over it. It is Basswood, 1.50" Dia. tapered to1.00". I feel that it is time to start this stick and let the Chips fall where they may.lol. This is the 1st. Spirit to get the Ball rolling. Will add a Spirit when the feeling hits me. That's a good feeling ,right? Do it when you feel like it. Independent HUH? Merle Last edited by Merle Rice : 09-29-2008 at 01:04 PM.  |

| Re: Walking Stick with Many Faces Hi Patrick,Alice, and Clif. Thanks for your Comments. Their is not a flaw in this Basswood Strick. I think it was turned on a Wood Lathe. Perfectly Tapered from 1.50" to 1.0". I bought it from Treeline and had in mind carving all over it. Kind of a review of what I have done in the past,just to see my improvement. Merle |

| Re: Walking Stick with Many Faces Nice job Merle and it look's like you're off to a very good start... and a good finish if you decided to stop right now! Alice, your stick really brightens up an already bright room too! Thank's to everyone for posting.
