I’ve been looking at some of the other Lumberjocks walking stick postings,
so I figured I’d post one of mine. I’ll have to take some more pictures of my other sticks someday.
This stick had a top that reminded me of some sort of animals nose,
so I used my imagination to carve something that sort of resembles an animal.
I think it turned out kind of cute. Even though I didn’t put any final touches to it.
It has no finish, only the oil from a persons hand.
This is either Maple, or Moosewood, which is in the maple family, but it doesn’t grow very big.
I think the Deer eats them before they can get big, its a delicacy that the Deer love, I guess.

Very cool carving Dick. I am going to be working on a cane soon. I am going to donate it to a disabled veteran. I am going to turn the shaft and carve an eagle head for the handle. I have not carved before. Any tips or suggestions? I know that is a loaded question.
Thanks for sharing.

Looks like that Geiko Gecko that is so annoying on TV. It is a good looking stick, though. I didn’t mean to imply otherwise, just because the TV annoys me.

Trifern, I could be a wise guy, say carve everything away that doesn’t look like an Eagle.<;O)
You can look for a pattern here, L. S. Irish has one free download,
She has many patterns that can be downloaded here.
But there are many places you can search for a pattern for carved Eagle head, on Google.
I usually get my patterns from magazine articles, & now I look at images, on Google,
& improvise my own pattern. With the help of you computer you can make any size scale you want.
For the rest of you, Thanks for the help.

Cute, Dick! I’d agree with Toolz that it looks like a meerkat. Or maybe a ferret.

Dick, a cross between a seal & a squirrel. Maybe you have found the allusive Aussie Bunyip. LOL

carve everything away that doesn’t look like an Eagle I’m pretty sure that’s how Michelangelo approached his work, so the concept is sound!
you are still a bit of a smarty though!
nice carving Dick! The seal squirrel combo does seem the best way to describe it.

Thanks Mike! I’m happy for you that your lathe is running again.
Darryl, & miles! I thank you both.
Did you notice the poor little guys nose?
Someone must have bit him pretty good, & I don’t think he won that fight. (o;)

Hi Dick;
That looks like one animal(?) on the shoulders of another!
Nice carving.

Thanks Guys!
It didn’t put too much effort into it, because the nose was already there. (O:)(>

What a cute little non-animal! I need to try my hand at carving. Between you and Mark DeCou I know I have a lot to learn.
