Smile Any ideas for a Cane head?

Hi,
I just cut this piece of Boxelder that was growing out the side of my garage. I've been trying to decide what would be a good fit for it.
I'll welcome some ideas.

Dick

what about a bear head or a beaver head, and the bullfrog head sounds good also after looking at it i can almost see a frog head or a frog sitting on a log.

hope this helps

It already looks like a flamingo head. Just add some detail. But who would want a pink walking stick?....Tom H

Hi Tom,
I was thinking maybe on the same wavelenth, but you'll never see it in the pink, because I don't usually paint my stuff. I like wood to much. Did you ever see my flamingo in my gallery?
Bob: A frog sounds interesting, thats a maybe.
I'll keep dwelling on it. That stick won't run away.
And Doug,
I'll have to look at some Pelicans also.

PS: My wife had to use a cane for awhile this winter. She picked out the prettiest one she could find..

Dick, thanks for your kind comments. The poems were written in response to the poetry contest as advertised in Chip Chats magazine. I don't expect to win anything with them but I had a lot of fun writing them.
I still think a Louisiana Brown Pelican is just waiting to emerge from your cane top. At least that's what I see when I look at it'
Doug

I'm not sure just what you can make from the boxelder but holy cow, all that I can say about your wife's cane is "Welcome to the golden years".

That's quite a cane!
