I figured its about time for me to give away some loot again. This giveaway will be open to all of North & South America WS&S'ers, not just Canada like my last contest (i had shipping restrictions on the last giveaway, due to the flammable contents - (firekit) ).
THE PRIZE!
Up for grabs is a VERY stout walking stick/staff, made from a dowel of western red oak. 1.25" thick, by about 4' long. Handmade by ME, during many nights of Warthog Ale
(i get inspired and artistic, what can i say? ). Hand filed barbwire pattern curling up the stick, on the upper portion of the staff, with the file grooves being burnt black by a camp fire heated red hot rattail file. On the lower portion of the stick is flame burnished "raccoon rings" and a larger burn ring. I wet sanded the stick after burnishing, using Tung Oil and 3M 200 grit wet/dry paper and the black from the burn wood to dye the wood grain. The Stick is sanded smooth and is currently soaking in Danish Tung Oil/Turpentine/Linseed Oil, and will be soaking for the next month. I still need to burn/smooth out the lanyard hole, add a paracord lanyard and whistle (all my sticks have an small flat whistle on the lanyard) and add a tip (pics soon)
clickable thumbnail pics: (Spyderco Manix sprint run in third pic not included)
