Looks really nice Jack!I've been working all day, but managed to get some time away from the screen to add a final wax layer to the hiking staff I've been working on, along with a lanyard, and an Alpine spike ferrule (rubber 'boot' over the top). It's finished, for now at least
Do you have its maiden hike planned?
Thanks ToddLooks really nice Jack!
Not yet, but hopefully I can cook something up by the weekend THis is my longest staff so far, comes up to my ear
Forgive my ignorance, I’ve never carried a staff, did you have a specific purpose in mind for making it that long? An advantage of some kind?Thanks Todd
I'll save that one for wading streams Todd!
Not that I do that very often these days I have in mind using it to support a tarp shelter when I'm out hiking, and I may also make it into a camera mono-pod

Ash is good wood for sticks, but it doesn't always have much character Looking good JerThis piece of wild cherry was in my garage for a couple of years.
The idea with the knife was to tighten a too-long curve and to bring the blade length down to 2.5", for the delectation of Chicago and Cleveland.
This is about as Alpine as I get.
