Default Two new experiments completed

I'm getting braver now since all the encouragement I received from my very first posting in the beginner category. I'm trying my hand at walking sticks to take a break from my large heads (woodspirits) I started a few months back.
Never had the opportunity to learn how to do this correctly but here is my attempt at a couple of walking sticks. My chinese dragon stick is basically a sketched on picture and then the detail burned in with a cheap wood burning tool. I'd like to try carving one right into the wood the next time as this is very two dimensional so any patterns out there in web land would be appreciated. I added a pic of a walking stick with a couple of my usual carvings to give you an appreciation of the size of carving I'm used to doing.
