Default Carving A Snake On Walking Stick
Just finished carving another snake on a walking stick.

Looks pretty good, however my picture taking skills leaves a bit to be desired. The snake was carved on an Oak stick, that had been eaten on by wood worms. Looks really unique.

What do you think?

Any suggestions?

Tried to carve a snake on a walking stick just lately, it was terrible, if I could carve one that well, Grin, I'd be afraid of it. Thanks for posting

I like how you incorporated it right into the stick as opposed to wrapping it around - that couldn't have been easy. Nice work.
