Every time I looked into my ‘elk button box’ this strange looking button would stand out yelling ‘take me , take me’ [whats a elk button] . But it looked just plain weird so of coarse I mount it to the top of a piece of diamond willow. After reflection I came to my senses , it was just too strange [see picture 6]. So go to plan B , I carved , bear, eagle, salmon and coyote – animals from native american myth legends onto the antler tines. As fate would have it , shortly there after a friend stops by wanting a stick for a local elder. The diamond willow shaft is 56 inchs tall , with a brass tip on the bottom. A spacer of caragana sits between the elk button and the shaft. SOLD
Materials
Wood – Diamond Willow ,Caragana.
Bottom – Brass tip
Finish – Wipe-on polyurethane

Thank you for your interest.

This is very nice. Is the dust particularly bad while carving these?

Hi Miles125 , yes the dust is nasty and you don’t want this stuff in your lungs . So you must wear a respirator or dust mask while carving and particularly when sanding with fine sandpaper grits .
