Beautiful piece of work Don. I did 2 of them and they didn't turn out like those. Nice carving. Merle

That turned out very nice! I love the spiral going down the shaft. I might try someting similar on my next stick.

Hi Don,

You did a great job on that stick. I'm glad you're happy with the outcome, I would be, too.

I did try to post a comment but it didn't take it.

Don, that's a really good looking stick. I particularly like your use of concave AND convex components. One or the other is common enough, but I've never seen both on one stick before. Its also wonderful to see a real nose on your wizard. You obviously understand facial componentry. Very impressive work. It must have taken you hours... you sure you want to risk it 'on the trail'? Trying to figure out exactly where the grip is. Is it just below the wizard face?
