Title: Walking Stick With Snake Wrap
Post by: Tim Crosby on July 20, 2019, 08:02:37 PM
 Antler handle with Pewter ends, antler tip with Brass tip. I'll post a couple Pix of making the handle in another thread.

Love it Tim. The rattler base is a nice touch.

That is so cool Tim!  I love it.  That represents a lot of work. 

For those that may have missed it, here is the corresponding horn Tim made a while back.  It is one of my 
all time favorite horns.  God Bless and best wishes,    Marc

Tim,  If that walking stick hasn't sold in the first hour of CLA, I'll buy you lunch.  That is, if it doesn't sell via a PM here before CLA.  :-)

That has to be one of the most unique horns I've ever seen!  I have a couple of very thick horns in my stash that might support carving like that...it's certainly a tempting idea!

I totally agree.  I called Tim and told him to send it to me when I saw it.  :-)

That's some nice looking workmanship.

Awhile back I was in a sporting goods store in Whitehorse, Yukon. There are quite a few Swiss and Germans living there. I overheard one of them asking a clerk if they had any sticks for walking. I thought it was a funny way to put it but giving it some more thought, it's actually more correct to word it that way than to say walking stick. At least, I've never seen a stick walking.
