Carving walking canes free#

I cut the branch as shown in the photo, then cut a shallow hole in the top of the pipe area for the bowl. I knew instantly he was absolutely right, so I headed off to our wood to find a cherry branch the right size for my carving. My beloved hubby, Michael, was watching me work and commented, вЂњWhat that little old man needs is a long cherry wood pipe!вЂќ. Then I dry-checked the fit, I tested that the dowel fit tight and square to both the staff and the carving. After the carving, which is worked on a 1 1/2вЂі square by 6вЂі basswood block, was finished, I drilled the 3/8вЂі mounting holes for my hardwood joining dowel.

Since I have lots of walking sticks, I decided to make this Mountain Man into a Talking Stick, with a short, 16вЂі staff. This Mountain Man Cane topper is one of those moments.

Over the last three decades I have love the joy of carving, but I must admit that even after that long a period there are some projects that just leave me with a full, big smile when I am done. I have been carving a Mountain Man Cane Topper the last few days to use in a sharpening e-project book.
