Got a chance to spend some time in the mini shop this weekend, managed to finish up 3 sticks. This stick a real simple thorn with a thistle topper, yet , I think it's my favourite, don't know why, it just seems to have lots of character. I'll post the pics of the other two later, they still need waxed.

unfortunately neither, I happen to run into a collector that gave me a great price on 15 different handles.

That thistle looks perfect; as though it was turned on a lathe.
