Unfinished Duck Walkin Stick Topper

[Merle Rice]

6" x 4" x 1 3/4" Black Walnut Knot. Hard and as Usual, Beautiful Grain. Trying something different with the Wood Burning Lines . Didn't want Solid Lines for the White Sections so tried this Method Outlining. Won't be able to see how it looks till it's mounted on the Stick . I did this Pattern years ago and gave it to my Nephew . He has since Passed and it is now handed down to his Grandson . I liked it and decided to make another one for me , Maybe. Ha,Ha.
I have the Diamond Willow Stick ready for Shaping . Probably start on it tomorrow. Feels good to be Stick making again. Merle IMG_0001.jpg IMG_0002.jpg IMG_0004.jpg IMG_0005.jpg IMG_0006.jpg

As usual, nothing commonplace will be watching for sure, which should be very unique
