Thank you for sharing George. I appreciate your start to finish explanation of carving the staff. You have provided enough information I'm ready to give it a try. Take care.
Yep, can do that. Start from beginning and go thru different cuts, and saftey and ideas and.....lol. I am planning one. Hopefully soon. Appreciate your support
great video. i already seen the morakniv video so i knew about the difficulties of making it. if you are ever interested to make a walking stick with a funny twist you should serch up shephard axes. those are walking stick axe hybrids from slovakia/romania/hungary and they can be quite crude or quite well carved. lot of them nowadays are made purelly out of wood evean the axe head. anyways great video lot of luck in next projects. hello from czechia.
I enjoyed this video. Your projects are turning out great. I have quite a collection of sticks lol. A shil-le-lagh is my normal carry, and red oak or hickory for hiking. Sometimes I use my old knobkerrie , but it has sentimental value so I'm careful with it. Well done George !
@@2ndchancegeorge hmmm that's a surprise. I have to walk with a cane now. Might as well make a fashion statement as well lol. My shil-le-lagh made a statement of it's own once.
N9 problem . I try to answer all my comments. It does become overwhelming at times. Lol. But I persist. I feel if some one watches and takes the time to comment. I should do the same l. Be safe
Thankyou 😆. It's one of the things I use to relax. Very rewarding. I tend to just get a stick and go with no plan in mind. Lol. Just love to whittle away. Be safe. And appreciate the support
oh my gosh! That is absolutely beautiful workmanship! It's always been on my mind to try making one....we have some of the perfect little trees here so yes, a video how to would be great!
Great minds think alike! I'm currently making some sticks and staffs myself, using guava wood, cut from the many weed guava trees we have here. Guava wood is very dense and strong, yet is easy to work. I am using the interesting shapes of branches in my creations for hand grips etc. I think I have a bit of a video up showing some of them. Your work is much more intricate and nicer than mine, mate.
Great looking staff! I love the tape tip for carving the twists. Just a suggestion, do a staff of Diamond willow. It wouldn't need actual carving so much as bark removal and finish but the end product can be unique.
Nice job George. Bit too long for me. To of my shoulder is 5'3" and my limit. If I added another foot it would be as some Asian artform to deploy/repeat strikes should some crazed coyote or two look at me/us in that way. ~ I use juniper cedar for the most part being light and strong. ~~ Nice looking spiral design but my view is not to weaken it. One advantage of longer vs cane or waist tall is possible traversing flooded area(s) on a log, staff reaching earth and not bending over too far retaining balance. ava noice day ~
@@2ndchancegeorge Back in the day when I climbed a tree at a drop of hat for fun, my staff had a lanyard I could shoulder up the tree with me which would make The third branch crossing two sticking out from tree to create a seat. Knowing it's strength enough to bust a coyotes spine or sit upon with say 1.5 foot span without worry was important. ~ blah blah, I've since given up climbing so high after thought of falling never again to use my acquired toys shivered my nerve. (-: ~~ I do have a lighter hike faved juniper staff. Ground end fairly narrow (3/4"?) that when poling along/poking it gives Report through hand to brain of soil/felled wood conditions. Latter for tinder/punkwood, or maybe possible chubby grub worm for fishing ay? Anyway George, here's the Coalcracker dude's vid of using the corkscrew/saw/branch as an extension for saw use, which made me lean towards the Huntsman. ruclips.net/video/UekYNQ0d8cA/видео.html
The sticks are beautiful and I loved the first one. I have to ask you myself, being a Spam fan, if you are sponsored by you cause if you are not, I am contacting them about you. What is the cost of the cost of your first stick you showed. Huggles from myself and Hubby from Ohio
Lol...I am not. It's just a thing that came about. I have made a few walking sticks and staffs. I am awning to do a video going through the ones I still have. Stayed tuned and appreciate you and hubby support. Be safe

Gandalf the wizard would be jealous of that staff, thanks for showing us this project, George.
Lol...hmmm. maybe you onto something. Hope all is well my friend
I like the length. I think the Boy Scouts had a standard length of 6 ft when this would have been common equipment.
Yep. That's a goid length. Thanks fir watching always appreciated
You got a really good optical effect with the spiral part near the top!
Lol...it was not planned, but I'll take it. Thanks for watching

0h yes, I got the wood glue separation and fixed it by scratching with knife tip into very hard wood. The rough sand was not quite enough.
