The campground carved wolf is done. This was a fun and relaxing way to sit around the campground. The staff is a boiled linseed oil finished red oak from the local county park. The carving is a piece of pine 2x4 with walnut stain. The brass ferrules I use are from Tree Line, they are a cosmetic fixture to hide the doweled and epoxied joint. I used woodland camo paracord and beads from Hobby Lobby for the wrist strap.

The wife and I took our camper out for a few relaxing days in a local state park. Normally after we stroll through the woods, ( looking for sticks), I would plant myself in a reclining lawn chair and dive into a book, not to be heard from for hours at a time. This trip I brought along the tools and whittled up this little wolf. I have a stick in my garage stick barrel that this guy will go nicely on. Will post more pics as the stick progresses.

Spent the last few days enjoying the summer version of polar vortex weather camping in a state park in eastern Indiana. While out hiking the trails found small piece of black cherry that seemed reasonably well seasoned. Whittled this wood spirit out from between the knots and the end of the piece. We also found a nice oak stick in a pile of brush cleared off the trail that this guy will go on. I might try whittling a hat for him as well. We shall see, keep you all posted.

Got the this black cherry topper attached to a white oak stick. We got the pieces of wood hiking on trails at the state park where the topper was carved. I think the two wood types compliment each other nicely. The stick/topper is done with boiled linseed oil. Need spar poly and he's done.
