Take a Hike #1. Green Man Walking Stick


Welcome to my blog

It is all about carving - tips and techniques, works in progress, completed projects, how to instructions, and future plans.

Please visit www.StickStaffCane.etsy.com and www.youwoodlikethis.etsy.com

Walking sticks are excellent accessories for hiking, walking, orienteering, or shopping whether for sport, business, pleasure, or adventure.

Green Man is a traditional spirit walking stick.  A nine (9) inch wood spirit sits atop a 58 inch spirit stick with unique green stain (not paint) on the shaft. The old man spirit has three banded pony tails down the back. The spirit is stained with Natural wood stain.  Made from light pine, the approximately 1.4 inch diameter is easy to carry. The wood is finished with 5 coats glossy polyurethane and a hard finishing wax.
