Looks good Frank. Who is the eagle yelling at?

Nice work. Like the walking stick a lot. Looks like three of those guys had better talk to the one who looks like he's about to get married ;O)).

Frank...Nice eagal cane. Did you hand carve that staff or has it been turned on a lathe? I assume that the eagal is basswood. What kind of wood is the staff? And how is the eagal secured to the staff?

Nice job Frank .. Love the eagle cane and you did good on the characters ..

Good job of carving and painting both .

Eddy smiles-you are correct the eagle is Basswood,and it is glued with epoxy glue to the walnut handle using two dowels,the shaft is oak epoxcied & mortised too the walnut handle.the shaft is worked using a dremel and burr(not carved),and a lot of sanding.
