Default My First Dog Handle
Heres my first attempt at a dogs head, its supposed to be a golden retriever, the handle is made of lime and the shank is hazel with the bark left on.





I'm just in the process of varnishing it, i will probably put 6 coats on

Hi Rod,

I've been thinking about doing what you've just done, a Golden Retriever head for a cane.

Nice.

Beautiful dog, well done. How does the cane feel, balance?

Great work.
