Newbie CPA here! I know nothing about wood working and my only skills are with numbers, but I've fallen in love with walking sticks. I ove walking thru the woods in the fall but I have to have a walking stick because I'm terrified of snakes.

I've don't a few simple, poor excuses of sticks.

We all started somewhere. My first stick was a partly-rotted pine branch. Bad idea...

Your tool kit will be a reflection of the complexity of the sticks you like to make. Mine consists of maybe 5-6 regularly used items. One of those is a bottle opener for a bit of refreshment while working.

Welcome aboard.

I'm not sure how to post pix. I've made a couple sticks. I don't own any power tools and have no wood working experience. But holding a piece of wood I cut and finished really makes me feel good. I have a piece of Osage Orange that I finished using Tung Oil from Milk Paint Company and it's a thing of beauty.

How do you post pix?

I use photobucket and copy and paste from there, I don't know how to do the thumbnails.
