Hi JJIREH
Was interested in your comments regarding sticks and why people have them .you thought that they where just for utility use , I think for a start they are, but as people use them regular they wish to define there character or there personnel interest in things.This is why there is such a wide range of designs and ideas regarding there use and looks.
Most of the people who make there own do it for interest and take pride in there work and once the interest develops strat making others before you know it you have far more then you need.
I dont think there is a ideal stick just different ideas on it , for me theye have to be the right height and have the right design carved on it,it needs to be strong, light and look the part.
I am always looking at design and what i can use as a design and probably spend as much time researching designs as making them.
I was in the moutians just outside Nice (france) recently and came across a shop selling them ,most of which where carved toppers of local animals such as the moutain goat and the marmite .interesting all the same.
A nice commercial outlet for local people i think but also some where carved in a moderen art style a stim
ulating design always stirs my interest and always makes me look further into ideas.
I am wondering why the thumb stick isnt so popular in the US? the bone carved thumb stick is popular in the Uk
It would be interesting to hear views on this from this site whether from a carver or some one who just uses them.
this dam keyboard keys are still sticking i will have to change it
cheers
