Walking Stick made with the posted jig

I had wanted to send a couple of pictures of this walking stick before I shaped it but forgot, but here is the finished piece before it was delivered to be shipped. The curved scarf joints really add something I think. Although it is more work it really helps to highlight the character of the grain….. The wood was Koa for the handle and base with the bow( which I didn’t take a picture of) made from Ohia and blond Koa, it’s verging on being too busy, but I got in a rush and ran out of time.

Harold,

This is a beautiful walking stick. I really like the color and grain of the koa.

Thanks for the post.

More beautiful wood beautifully made and finished. Can’t see any evidence of rushed woodworking here, Harold.

How did I miss this one? That is a beauty. Is this one about cane height? or walking stick height?

I’m like Dennis, & missed this, but one thing nice about LJs is it’s alway there if you take some time to look.

You have a keen eye for creating this type of art.

I like the little foot on the tip, it’s really clever.
