[Ducati250Single]

Long time walker, first time carver. I have a few walking sticks, long ones for really uneven terrain and shorter ones for level terrain. Always wanted to learn carving...I can wittle, so I guess I got a start in my learning process. Happy walking to all!

Hello and welcome. Hope you enjoy it here.

Thank you Sean. Sticks are a personnel thing, I get attached to them also. Think about it, they are an extension of your body.

Hi, and welcome. As far as carving goes, keep your edges sharp, and consider getting a carving glove of finger protection. Lots of good stick wood is harder than often used by carvers, and its easy to push too hard.

 

[Ducati250Single]

You are oh, so right about stick wood,(at least the woods I choose), vs. carving wood, where I see a lot of basswood. The carving glove is a great idea, I do wear gloves, (not always though), to cut down on blisters. developing. Thank you for the reminder gdenby, I should wear protection ALL the time.
