Here is my latest experiment -- It is all done by hand, no power tools! It is a double twist. I am working on another one attempting a triple twist.

That's pretty slick. You did a good job with the twist. I've wanted to do something like this for a snake cane but I get annoyed trying to keep everything spaced properly, proper depth. etc. That and the fact that it takes forever to get around the stick with the twist. It's the reason I haven't done many more snake canes.

Good job and I'll look forward to seeing your next one.

Wow! That is gorgeous. Great job, wish I had the patience to do something like that.

Thank you! I don't do it all in one sitting, you have to leave it for awhile (sometimes for days) and then come back to it -- it is very repetitious work.

Very nice job, wow. So is a good rasp all you need to complete the twist hand tool wise other than sandpaper?

Masking tape to lay it out, a rasp to cut the grooves, and a dowel to wrap the progressive grades of sand paper around as you use the dowel like you did the rasp.

Thanks Sean!

Thank you! Naw! It's pretty easy -- and I'm not artistic like some of these other guys, like Bill (Lewey) so I have to keep it simple!

 

[Paul2281]

Ya I gotta keep it simple too...Thats why I stay to the distressed look,scalloping,notching, in straight lines....If I start going past North South lines it gets kinda weird.lol...Well East West(cross`s) are one of my fav.`s....

WTG on your designs brother.....
