Hi DC & welcome to the thread!

Carving is a bitch. I'm so not a carver but am trying and still don't know what I'm doing. I just let the tools take me wherever we end up. Like I mentioned in one of my prior posts, mine looks so juvenile, but still, it's my very own creation.

Have you tried going to YouTube to get some ideas? There are some things for beginners, but in my opinion it still takes years of experience to learn. Maybe one day I'll surprise myself and make something extraordinary.

That stick you mention sounds very cool. I would love to see a picture of that.

Looking forward to hearing more from you.

One thing I really liked about it was that it had a small compass fitted into the top of it. Since I can be challenged with direction in the woods, I loved the idea. It was a beautiful piece of wood that was also practical for hiking etc.
