My imaginary animal walking stick top

I think it looks like a smart gopher… big head and all… looks great, very creative!!

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.

Hmmm reminds me of a Meerkat…looking good.

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

I think I like that ”Aussie Bunyip”, They have some weird stuff down under.

Cute little bugger Dick. I got my lathe running, so watch out! I just might be posting something here pretty soon.

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.

Obviously the much reknowned Prarie Dog embryo walking stick head Lol!

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.
