| Re: walking staff REALLY nice job on that woodspirit windsong. Nose & eyes look sorta similar to Shawn Cipa's style from the Woodspirits & Greenmen book with Pye & Irish. Excellent job. I LOVE this woodspirit hiking staves. So what's a "hamefest" and where is it? Sounds interesting.  ChuckT |

| Re: walking staff The dark bark and reddish wood lead me to think that you have Alder there and not birch. Though Alder is a member of the Betulaceae (Birch) family most people think of white or paper birch when you say "birch". Great woodspirits btw!! Good luck at your festival.

| Re: walking staff Your detail is as good as it gets. Nice job and good luck on peddlin' a few of them! As for the birch I use a lot of the sweet birch here in western North Carolina but my birch seems a bit more "shiney" than yours yet still very similar. They make great walking sticks.
