Hello I thought I would share my 2nd and 3rd sticks i have made trying to up my skills woodworking.

The first 4 pictures are my 2nd stick a snake and an apple which I think is more eye pleasing of the two

( to much sanding on this one which you can see in the pictures.)

the next five pics are my 3rd stick a vine with a caterpillar, small tree frog, then topped of with 5 leaves.

This stick is not finished it needs sanded in one spot to remove some paint ( w shaped white mark) and then the finishing coats applied still.

(I need to work on my staining /painting still. )

I know I have a long way to go before I might be able to make a buck or two from doing this but I thought I would put these on here and see what you guys think.

I think my goal Is to be creative trying things out of the box.

Thanks for any comments ahead of time....

Most of what I do I learned through trial and error. Then later I realized that there are book and video's on the subject! I will say though for someone just starting out you're way ahead of any carving I've ever done! Nice work!

Great looking sticks, like the negative snake, most are carved sat on rather than sunk in, keep posting.

Well done. Thanks for sharing. Making sticks is like eating chips. Once you start its hard to stop.

I like the use of the negative impression snake... way to think "out of the box!"
