Default Totem style...riding crop?

The one peice of "harry lauder walking stick" i have, that's straight...ish, I've been carving on and have come up with a unique style of totem. It's more alone the size of a riding crop but it's coming out nicely.
If you ever get the chance to get your hands on this wood, do it for it's some of the nicest i've found.
I carry this peice with me where ever i go and i get alot of comments on it.

That's wolfprince holding it.

Having done a cane with small wood spirits a few weeks ago, I can surely appreciate the effort it takes carving faces that small - well done.

High praise from the master of wood spirits and i thank you for it. I thank all of you for the kind words, it's insperation to me and keeps my hand steady.
That peice is a gift for the lady that give me the wood, i thank she'll be happy with it. I'll post the finished picture when i'm done.
It's amazing how far i've come in just a few short months.
Again thank you all, it's this place that keeps me carving.
