Several months ago, many of you will remember that I brought up the discussion concerning the making of an Alpenstock.

Well I have been dabbling around with it a little -- below is the beginnings of my first experiment crude as it may be. I have to put the point on the end yet (I have a nice combination point) and do some finish work, otherwise I don't have much more to do -- this is one of two projects I would like to finish up before shoulder surgery!

As I continue to finish I will post more pictures.

Got the Tip on -- now to apply finish!

I think I've decided to go with a rub on finish -- so it may take a little time!

Almost done with the Alpinstock project and will soon post final pictures!

I like the finger notches at the top.

Please describe the rub on finish when you do it.

Looking awesome! Let me know how you like that spike. I think I may have one of those in a drawer, unused.

It's just a Polly formula that is made for hand rubbing! It goes on easy -- no dripping or running!

I will! It feels really good, but the real test will be one of my down hill icy climbs! I think it will have to wait untill after surgery -- and I hear that will take some time! :-(
