Hi everyone
Has anyone used Tacks to decorate the handle of a walking stick? Like how native Americans decorated pipes or Tomahawk.
I have a old rake handle that must be at least 10 years old, I'm going to sand down and use a tung oil finish and I was trying to think of something decorative to add.

I've used them on other things and can see where they might work on a stick.I say be creative with whatever you might wanna try.Send pics when it's finished.

Make sure you use solid brass or some other non-rusting metal if you can find them. Upholstery supply place maybe? Plated probably won't last long.

Solid Brass is the way to go.
