    Just made a diy drawing knife from a rusted old steel 90 degree ruler. Wish I could share a pic here! Super proud of myself. It works great!

    Great idea. While you were peeling the stick; it reminded me of when I was young peeling dozens of 6’ tall 8” round oak posts for future fence posts. Anyways, need to find myself a cedar stick somewheres so I can create one for myself. Thnx

    I think that by the time I post this comment You'll have realized that your leather cord is too short and cuts off the circulation in you're hand. I don't mean to be mean spirited but I too have been down that road and had to make a longer lanyard. I know that Cedar bark removal can be a bummer, everything you said was true., if there's no knots from where branches grew, the bark will offten strip off the whole length if done soon aftere cutting a live stick. thanks for the post!

    Some folks advise that the grip position on a walking stick should have your firearm level, rather than slanted. That works for me. Wherever the grip is located, it should be comfortable for the user.

    I always use 24" of leather. That way you can use the lanyard as a crude measuring tape if needed. Untie the lanyard to measure 2 feet, half the untied lanyard is a foot, etc. Also you can get a cheap 3/4 inch dia compass online to mount that the top of your walking stick. A couple of coats of poly, and you are done.

    I am making one now. Needed to know what a draw knife was called, so the comments here helped.
    But man, it's sticky right? I had to use gloves. Still makes the floor, the tools, and whatever I step on sticky.
    I found using a chisel was the best too. But now I want a draw knife. Is curved or straight better?
    Or straight more widely useful? Is that why yours is straight?

    One thought on the height. Do whatever u like. But in my woods, the spider webs are thick. And if you've ever walked into one, you know what I mean when I say the spider web dance... but then after the dance stops, the worst part -wondering if the spider is now on you. Lol.
    I like my walking stick head high. I keep it in front of me when I'm walking between trees so it catches the spider webs instead if my face.
    I also wrap a parachute cord grip for my hand, and at the bottom of the grip i hang a flashlight that shines forward. Then I use a wire tie to keep it still. That way I can carry the walking stick in one hand and light my way, keeping the other hand free for things like adult beverages, cigars, etc.
    The flashlight I use shoots forward along the grip in one setting then forward out the tip in another. So if I hold the stick forward, parallel to the ground, I can imagine I'm Gandalf and shoot a beam of light out into the woods ahead of me instead of a broader light just ahead to light my way. Ya know, when I hear a grunt or a rustle in the dark.

    6918 That is a Draw knife they come in different widths. 8 or 10 inch run about 50 dollar range. Maybe you can find a cheaper one at a flea market. Jim's wood shop.

    Nice But if you dug the dirt away from the roots you can make a Cane. More people use them cause they are unable to hike in the woods..

      Except the title is “Walking stick”, not cane. Could do a lot of things, like add a bow string for making a bow, sharpening for a spear, etc….

    For Americans, the US Flag is red white and blue. Not black. Join the USA. Where is this filmed? Canada?
    Nice walking sticks.

    You young guys using draw knifes crack me up. Take much faster but shorter strokes. Just do it, as a shoe ad suggest.

    that stick that you cut is not cedar. cedars are evergreen. your stick is deciduous. learn tree identification before you try to teach.
