Well gang, I finally got something to show. The little fella is with the help of one of Price's book.He's is only 2 inches tall made from basswood. The cane is for my own personal use due to hip surgery that's coming in 2 weeks. It's made from a pine ballister from a stair rail and the head then attached. Glad to hear your comments.

The little fella reminds me of a little amish boy with his hair cut the way it is. And the stick is nice too, good idea reclaiming the wood the way you did. I want to wish ya the best of luck on your upcoming surgery..Bruce

Nice Pieces Cliff. Sorry to hear of your hip surgery. My father in Law is recovering from hip replacement and he is 83.

He still rides motorcycles but won't be now till middle of summer.

Mr. Cliff,thats a really neat looking cane top,the little guy,hes got a good look to him and you did a great job on his hat and clothes also! The eagle is nice too! Plus a neat idea using the stair rail for the stick part. Keep us informed about your surgery! Its no fun but Im sure it will be well worth it!

I will be thinking about you Sir, Forrest

Great work on both projects! The stick looks especially sturdy and well made so I know that it'll be helpful after hip surgery.

My mother (now 76) had full knee replacement in both knees a couple years ago and she's doing great now although she feels like her osteoarthritis is gonna soon require hip replacement. She's a real trooper so I know that when the time comes she'll do well with that too. It's amazing how they have you up and walking the very day after the surgery now-a-day's. I'd bet that you'll be carving again in no time! Best wishes.

Very good looking projects Cliff. Before your surgery rough our several projects to carve. I carved a walking stick similar to yours, only used a stair rail. I have had both hips replaced in the last year and a half. You will have a lot of sit time to carve, and a lot of physical theropy to do. I get up and move at least every hour, if only to little boys room. I feel so much better since replacement. May the good Lord bless you and watch over you, the surgon and staff.

Well Cliff, I knew you had it in you all along so I was waiting to see fine carvings such as these. The little guy turned our well and super job on the topper for your cane. Just be careful taking those stairs with that new hip as they may not be a sturdy with that rung missing.
