Obviously I have a long ways to go in the art department, but when you start in the basement, you have nowhere to go but up.

Cold Steel's "axe-headed stick", a quasi ciupaga.
I was looking for a synthetic stick, and this is what I came up with. I'm always worried a two-piece stick will break at the join.

Wikipedia calls that a "shepherd's stick".

Arrrrr... Nice Knife Matey.

Enjoy it I did.

Thanks ship-mate!

That looks yummy.
I'm glad the weather is nice and you're out enjoying it.

Thanks again my friend, I need to go out and get a bit more sunshine (I'd go to a country pub, but in an hour or two, and for several hours after, the roads in and out of Leeds will be packed!)

I've looked at the same one myself Jer The aircraft aluminium walking/ski poles are very strong, but lack character I think

Double lamb Friday because why not?View attachment 1864673

Why not indeed Pete! Great-looking pair

A missed opportunity!! I'd love to see how they would have turned out!! Probably great!!

Thank you Charlie Yes, a shame

Thanks. That willow wand sounds great.
I have a couple of wild cherry trunklets that dried perfectly straight, but split a bit. Yes, Virginia, it really is advisable to seal the ends.

Thanks Jer, I'll try and remember to get a pic before I hand it over I've just fitted the copper ferrule, and applied another coat of linseed oil

I have dozens of canes and sticks, so I don't know why I suddenly needed one that's impervious and indestructible. Except who doesn't like impervious and indestructible?

Absolutely! My thinking exactly

Don't sell yourself short John, that's a great pic

There's a pattern here, called a market stick, a fancy shepherd's crook the old farmers used to save for swanking about the market place trying to impress their fellow farmers They sell for hundreds of £s

 

[Jack Black]

I knew I had a pic somewhere!

That's frustrating.

Thank you, my friend.

Good morning Guardians, 6.30am here in Yorkshire, and it's been bright and sunny since I got up an hour ago, supposed to be in the mid 70's again. I usually meet up with my best pal on Fridays, but he has a works meeting today. I have plenty to do myself though Have a good Friday Guardians, it's nearly the weekend

Enjoy it JohnDF !!

Cool image Jack.

You are well-deserving, otherwise they wouldn't do it.

I love this pic John.

I love this pic John.

Thank you, Dwight.

 

[Jack Black]

That's frustrating.

Yeah Used to be we had a 'Rush Hour', now it runs from about 3.00pm to 7.30pm, and is at its worst on Fridays, a 20 minute journey can take 2 hours because of the traffic congestion

Cool image Jack.

Thank you Dwight

The knobs are too big on CS's knobkerrie and "blackthorn", and I'd feel a little conspicuous with Steven Seagal's fantasy stick, but I like this one, though a little taper wouldn't hurt it.
I thought I might have to round off a corner or two, but I'm getting used to it as is.

Our city dicksissels for brains are paying a consulting firm a million dollars to tell them it will be fine to go back to two-way traffic downtown. (Back in the late fifties we went to one-way traffic because the two-way traffic didn't move.)

That's one of the few I liked the look of Jer Though when I get time I'm making a mace-headed stick! Eat your heart out Lynn Thompson!

Exasperating Jer! Cool pic, that looks like a good book

...Supposed to be 32C here today - I might have to look up what that means!

It means "32 degrees Canadian". It's basically 90 in real degrees.

As you know Charlie, lignum was once used for bowling balls and (Crown Green) bowls, and I sometimes come across the latter at flea markets I did offer to have one of these cut up, but to no avail I thought it would look good with a Bird's Eye pivot

That’s “a low-down dirty rotten shame.“ I would love a lignum vitae. Lambfoot.

Things to do on on a sunny Summer’s day, plus good things to eat with a friend. Doesn’t get much better my friend.

Let’s settle this, John. First, that image is fabulous. Second, I don’t think I’m that great. I do have experience and am willing to spend more time than most in execution. I find it relaxing, meditative, even. There are so many great images here, and yours is on that list.

Great photo John.

Good morning Guardians.

How’s the hickory nut thing going, Todd? Love that pére david Lambfoot.

Though when I get time I'm making a mace-headed stick!

Can’t wait to see that when it’s finished, Jack.
