Alpenstock Project

1671 Views 7 Replies 3 Participants Last post by  Rad
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!

Brick Brickwork Building material Wood Pattern
Composite material Rectangle Building material Terrestrial animal Brickwork
Hand tool Human body Tool Plumbing fixture Gesture
Watch Hand Bird Gesture Hand tool
Finger Tool Auto part Wood Thumb


As I continue to finish I will post more pictures.

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! :-(
