I started this wood spirit at the state park we stayed at over the weekend. The park Naturalist was visiting the campers on Friday night and had a look at a couple of my sticks. She had a program scheduled for Sunday afternoon for the kids to craft a hiking stick. She asked if I would please come and give demonstration on how carve a hiking stick. As I am a relatively "newbie" carver I was a bit skeptical about what I insight into carving I could provide, but I agreed to give it a try.

The kids were fascinated and were very interested in learning the craft. (I did stress the importance of adult supervision and safety gear). I see hope some kids might put down the I-phones and new carvers might be born.
