Hi Kris, I'm glad you like them! My husband and I want to make handles for our kitchen cabinets kind of on the same order as the hair sticks some day. First we have to mill up the lumber to build the cabinets though! LOL

I like those sticks, Sharon. I've made a few sets (from my old oak whiskey barrel wood, mostly), and they've gone over well when I can find somebody who uses them. Maybe I should make a bunch and see if I can peddle them at a local craft show.

Nice tip on the drywall sanding sheets. I have to make a trip to Home Depot this afternoon anyway . . .

Hi Jim and thank you! Make some sticks and try it! I bet people would buy them.-- Drywall sheets are great for first sanding steps.

Hi Sharon, The hair picks are a great idea! I can't use them because of short hair all the time! But, I will definitely use the spoon that you made! It is so pretty and sturdy! Might have to invest in one for our Daughter as she loves to cook! I went to your etsy sight and checked out all your neat things! Very nice! Who would ever think of drywall for sanding?! Thank you!

Thanks Dorothy and Art! I'm glad you like the spoon too! I think the drywall sheets might be to coarse for bark, but they sure are good for hardwoods.

Daniel, thank you for checking them out! I bet your girls would love some sticks that dad carved! I ended up making more of these and I gave 2 to my daughter today. She's going to attach beads or something to them.
