The Pencils that I use is ( Multichrome Coloring Pencils) . They say to use them as Oil Pencils. Just used them as a Crayon and Colored the Piece . It gives a Nice Warm . Merle

Hi, Arthur, No, nothing Special about the Pencils. I bought them years ago and use them now and then . The only thing I did different was to Seal the Carving with Poly U before using the Pencils . I am not to good with Colors so Blending them isn't an Option for me . I found it is a Nice way to add...

Hi, Yolli, I have used Colored Pencils before but not over so much Detailing or on a Cane . It was a Pleasant Surprise. How are you doing with your Chip Carving? Haven't seen any of your Progress lately. Thanks for your Kind Words. Merle

Hi, C-wade, I was a little surprised about the White also. I think what made it so is I put a Coat of PolyU on the Bare Wood to seal it and keep the Color from mixing with the Wood Sap. I feel I'll be using this Method more often now . Thanks for Commenting . Merle

Hi, Sappy, I spent a lot of time on the Head and Feet. Didn't want to do to much Detailing on the Feet because it would be to Fragile and break easy. I try to make my Canes Use Able . The Detailing on the other Eagle Cane is the same as this one , but it is Painted and the Detailing isn't as Visible...
