We have a ton of Rodis around here, but they are all bushes. I will pay attention to the ones that are trimmed or tossed out than I did before. Thanks Glenn and it sure has a very attractive grain....

I have to join the others and ask about you plan to carve? People here carve from stone, to chain saw carvings, to whatever.

Welcome, and a very friendly and knowledgeable bunch of folks here.

Well, the name doesn't appear to be something one would encounter in a bar around here. Very interesting though, Arthur. Thanks....

Excellent work and a great composition showing a fluid and dynamic image, Rontana....

Nice fellow and I use the "washed out" paint process as well, Bob....

Many, many Youtube videos on stick making and they are worth a read, Knott. Harvest in the winter when the sap isn't there and dry them as Brian said. If you work them green they will probably split/check.

If you are interested in sales, pyrography is a great thing to do in addition to...

Seems like another variable would be your weight/mass? How much of a load to the cane...however your technique should work for any individual...guess tomorrow I'll try mine. Thanks for sharing the idea, Brian....

You have hit a home run with that design, Merle. Excellent, practical, and can't wait for the rest to develop!...

[woodburner807]

I'll knock a few out tonight. Excellent work and glad you posted, Ed. Your Einstein comes to mind....

More variations of Santa carvings than any other I can think of...yep fun to do. what you have and it will be interesting to see them. Love them also.

Nice thought and carving for her, Joe. Waaay too much cancer out there today. Wish her the best and medicine today is a lot different than years ago...solutions are many. We lost our daughter at 35 from cancer. I know the feelings. ...

Very attractive carving and details, Claude. Almost wants me to carve another. ...

If you don't get an answer here, maybe a local forestry office or a co-operative extension place would have an idea, Len. I'm not knowledgeable enough to offer any technical solution. Good luck.

Nice witty carving, Anders. The sign says it all. ...

Nice carving and the mule is an eye-catcher, Herb.

[woodburner807]

Nice, John, and Spanish Cedar is used in humidors also....

[woodburner807]

Really enjoying the progress, Bob. Sure a complex work.

[woodburner807]

That would be the way I'd do it, Merle, for better or worse. I'm rough on canes/walking sticks and always worry about weak points. Well done!...

[woodburner807]

Always nice to fashion something useful and repurposed, Anders. Fun project....
