- Welcome back! Here is the latest walking stick video turning an Ash stick into a hollow form geometric pattern. Power carving with the Dremel and hand tools. The top looks like a lace or lattice structure with the pattern. Finishing up with Watco Teak oil and going through the steps to create a paracord handle.
Hope you enjoy the video and thank you for watching.

Thanks for this. I learn a lot watching. One trick I picked up is to heat an old pairing knife up with my mini torch then cut the paracord. Doing so makes for a neat, fused cut.
Great to hear! Thanks for the tip!
Nice job. Thanks for demonstrating the steps.
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed the build! Thanks for your support
beautiful work!
thanks for the support!
Great looking walking stick, the Paracord tutorial was a add bonus , thank you for that.
Thank you very much for watching
I really enjoy watching your chanel you explan everything so good thanks keep up the good work
Thank you! I appreciate it. Glad you are enjoying the builds.
Hello, Jason- Congratulations. Thank you for sharing your videos.
Thank you very much! Thanks for watching
I tried to make one like this because it one of my favourites. I don't have a drill press but I drilled it by hand and it turned out pretty good. I really enjoy your work. As a retired old guy of 75 I needed a hobby and making sticks has filled the bill well. Carry on and keep up the good work. Mike
Great to hear! Glad you made one. It might be easier with a handheld drill, you can better adapt to the curvature. Thanks for watching
@@JasonHedrich I find the hand held drill hard to use as straight as needed.
@@mikelavictoire5665 100% agree its harder to do with a hand drill. But even with the drill press, because the diameter varies on a natural stick, it will be difficult to keep everything lined up. But thats the beauty of a natural stick, a little be off is still ok!
Love watching this... Thanks for sharing it brother! 💯👌👍
That’s great to hear! Glad you enjoyed it!
I pulled up a photo of a stick I made with a cholo cactus and a Maple branch. The cactus(like in a reptile terrarium) I put below the hand grip area and filled it with resin. Many remarks from the public. Not magic or horticulture involved, just love making walking sticks that aren't available in Outdoor stores, etc. (Overpriced and under engineered. Well done Sir.
I was thinking of putting epoxy in the hollow form section, but since it is above the handle, I didn’t need the strength. Thanks for watching!
@@JasonHedrich hey Jason, I prefer the UV activated resin to epoxy, less fumes, easier cleanup, cures in one minute under lamp, put in sunlight for a few more minutes to get a hard transparent product or tint to any shade. Almost foolproof if you use clear silicone sheets to contain resin while forming. I use Wax Paper for rough forming odd shapes. Cost effective as you only use the amount you need by layering, can't say that for epoxy which I've had issues layering before. A starter kit at Hobby Lobby was budget friendly but you'll want a larger lamp as you go .
Your Celtic weave video expanded my outside the box perception on designs. You taught an old dog a couple of new tricks on the video. Attaboy!
@@markmarricle6981 I've seen it but never used the UV cured epoxy... something for me to look into. Thanks for the info!
Perfect, I didn't know how to do the para cord and the carving is awesome, thank you.
Awesome to hear... very happy to know it helped out!
Just found your videos - well done!! I haven't carved in several years (moved south in BC) but you have inspired me! I like to pick projects that I can learn from. Have done some Cottonwood bark whimsy houses, relief carving & walking sticks. I have a cache of poplar waiting for me to carve some sticks. Can't wait to try some of your patterns! Thanks for the inspirations!!
Thanks for watching! Happy to help and definitely try those poplar sticks, they should be easier to carve. Hope they turn out great
The top reminds of a Cholla (cactus) skeleton. I am so jealous of your creativity. I can do everything you can do but your creativity blows me away.
Thanks so much! I like creating new things so woodcarving seems to fit well. Thanks for watching
Great video! Thanks for the tip about locking in the end of the para cord! I could never figure out a good way. Fantastic!
Nice, glad it helped! Thank you for watching
THANK YOU! Clear, concise, informative, interesting & clipped right along. NEXT PLS
Awesome, that’s great to hear. Glad you enjoyed it
Very very nice, can’t imagine the hours you put into this stick, but the results are amazing, you sir are a true artist……….
Thanks Glenn, I truly appreciate your kind words… means a lot to me. It took a bit of time but all fun so it’s not hard. Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for watching
Another excellent instructional video Jason exceptional finish 👍🏴
Thanks Matt, it was different but came out pretty good!
Jason, you are absolutely amazing!!! Me and my husband are blown away by your work!! We began our stick creation business fairly recently, and we have much to learn. It feels incredible when people truly love and appreciate your work ❤ Thank you for the videos! God Bless You and Your Family.
Thats great to hear... very happy to hear that you two enjoy the videos! Thank you for your support and let me know if you have any questions.
@@JasonHedrich Will do! Thank you so much!!
A suggestion for rolling the paracord. One of my hobbies is making cat furniture, and a lot of it is wrapped in sisal rope. So I set up a simple cradle to hold the piece horizontally, leave the rope on the floor and create tension with my feet, either by resting one foot on it or binding it between both feet.
I then rol the piece with one hand and guide the rope with the other.
Sine then I have bought a mini lathe that I modified so it can take pieces of almost any reasonable length, and will use it to turn the pieces by adding a foot pedal as a speed controller.
Glad I found your channel, love your work!
good idea, thank you! Yes when starting a new 50ft or 100ft length of paracord, its easy to get tangled up with not enough hands to keep pressure and all things in place. I'll look into doing something similar. Glad you enjoy the videos and thanks for your support!
Cool Idea that turned out great. I'm working on my 5th walking stick now so love to see good ideas!
Thank you! Good luck on your project, hopefully it turns out great!
Jason, instead of your video I am watching energy alternatives and prostate info. Just letting you know. I build sticks for people in need. Here you are.
Thank you!
Very nice work!!
Thank you
Very nice looking design!
Thanks! It was a different design but it worked out
im starting to make more walking sticks for my campground and ur ideas will help me!!!!
Thanks for watching! I’m happy I could help!
I met a homeless man in the foothlls outside Denver near Coors brewery. He soaks his sticks in a creek for 24 hours prior to debarking. Amazing sticks!! He sells them to tourists. Cool stick and great info Jason! Thanks!
hes working with what he has available... thats great! Thanks for watching and I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Colby, I have made 2 new friends in Denver that are homeless. I passed them several times before giving a walking stick to them. One has diabetes , the other showed me his Purple Heart from Desert Storm and rather than describe the injury he said " Figure this (metal) is enough to let you know I'm not faking this limp.". Both of the men were in tears when I left the stick I had in my hand to them. I only build sticks for people who need them and I've never charged a penny. Sometimes money ruins the compassion. The two gentlemen in this story agree with that 100% and told me they would cherish their gifts for a long time.
Jason's videos are extremely informative even to a woodworker with 40+ years experience. I just subscribed and I'm sure this old dog is gonna learn a few more tricks from Jason.
I haven't made a stick in quite a while but I was asked just recently to make on for the grandson of a friend. I intend to do something that I have envisioned that is very similar to yours. I want the holes like yours has but, I want to drill a hole from the top down that would be large enough to accomadate a Chemstick (chemical light stick) so that if he uses it for hiking and camping, he can activate the stick and push the stick into the ground and if he has to walk away from his tent, he'll know exactly where it is in the dark to get back to his tent! Drilling all those holes will be tedious I'm sure! Thanks for posting and refreshing my memory!
That sounds like it'll turn out great. Sure it takes a bit to make but its fun. Hope it turns out like you want. I'm sure he'll appreciate the work you put into it! Thanks for taking the time to watch.
I would've tied the cord ends together and made a handle as another added feature. Never know when it could come in handy. Love the design tho, awesome job.
Not a bad idea, thanks! I’ll keep that in mind
Very cool
Thank you!
The top area with the holes is great for pouring resin of some fitting color (maybe a red-ish hue) in it. So it "glows" when the light hits the resin^^
That would look great… a good idea!
@@JasonHedrich try it next time^^
Hello Jason - Congratulations on reaching 1000 subs. Really enjoyed watching you create this stick and it turned out beautifully. Thank you for sharing the process with us. Regards, Randy at Coyote Sticks.
Thank you very much! Yes, it’s a big milestone. Happy to hear you enjoyed the video
Good way to cut down the weight of heavy wood. Thank you.
Absolutely! Thanks for watching
Excellent Work there. Very inspirational. The hollowed out top part looks stunning. Thanks for the video. I’m going to binge your channel now 😊
Thank you very much. Glad you liked it. Let me know what you think of some of the other sticks!
Hi my name is Jonah and I love your artwork it’s nice
Thanks buddy! Glad you liked it
молодец! супер!
благодарю вас
Good job
Thank you!
You made the handle week and easily breakable. Fill the holes with multi colour glitter apoxy.
the hole pattern is above the handle... the handle is solid and wrapped in the paracord...
Nice stick. I just wanted to say safety is always first. Like always wear your life vest when in a boat. Dust is a lung killer. Faster if you smoke. Some woods are worse than others. I noticed your beard in one shot while using the Dremel. This means you are not wearing a mask or Dremel box. I hope you are protecting your lungs. Everyone watching that is going to try making a stick, please protect your lungs.😊
Thanks for watching! And yes, I wear a mask when using the Dremel, however when making the clips for the videos I sometimes don't wear it... Safety first is important. Thanks for taking the time to write
Nice video, but please pay attention to sound volume differences. Like what you did to the stick and subscribed
Perfect, thanks for the feedback. Thanks for watching
Would the drilled hole section provide a good hand-hold instead of the paracord ?
It might but it is weak due to all the holes, I would be concerned for strength…
@@JasonHedrich Thanks for the reply
What are the size of the holes drilled in the handle and how far apart are they?
Thanks
Thanks for watching... I think the holes were 1/4" in diameter and I probably made them 1/2" apart in a staggered pattern. Getting tough to remember that far back! But I tried to leave an 1/8" to 1/4" of wood between the holes. Too little and it would become very weak and potentially break off. Hope that helps
Hi there. My 1st wood carving video. Wanting to get myself a wood carving kit. Any recommendations?
I have a personal collection of sticks I've collected. Thought of a broom & walking stick. Have this idea in my mind. Just don't know where to start.
I'd appreciate any ideas. TYs, U have beautiful carvings yourself
Hello and thanks for watching! As for a wood carving set, it depends where you live, but Rockler or Woodcraft have great selections (and Amazon delivers to just about everywhere!). I picked up a set of 4 by Flexcut and couldnt be happier. As to where to start with a carving... just start!!! Even if the carving changes as you go, just starting something is a great beginning. I usually have a general idea and then start carving, then it changes as I go and the wood helps you "see" the final product! Enjoy the process
Great job, thanks. About how long is the stick
Thanks, this one is about 56” high…
Cool Ideas. And good execution. Makes me want to try and make a fun walking stick. I wish the audio was a bit better. Your speaking is quite low audio and then you have tool noise and music over it, which is twice as loud, so I have to constantly adjust my audio level through out the videos. Not sure how to fix that, but it would make the videos easier to watch.
Thanks for watching, I'll look into the audio
what determines when you use the spokehaven as opposed to the draw knife?
great question... to remove bark or large cuts quickly, use the drawknife. For finer detail shaping, a spokeshave shines.
@@JasonHedrich very good... thank you..
Jason the rasp you use what’s the correct name and where did you buy it 👍🏴
I think it’s a Nicholson Woodfile rasp. It’s a half round rasp on one side, flat file on the other. I also have a 4-in-hand which works well. They were both bought at local big box stores but also can be found on Amazon. Hope that helps
Un gran saludo desde Sevilla España intentaré mejorar mí bastón con el calado de taladró con las brocas es un bonito detalle con su permiso amigo
¡muchas gracias! Utilice el diseño y hágame saber cómo resulta. Gracias por ver mis videos

Jason no sé si selo he podido enviar el video esperó que si un abrazo y un saludo desde Sevilla España
What is the tool you are using to scrap the stick to peel the ark I should say.
I use both a drawknife and a spokeshave to remove the bark and shape the sticks
So, oil before stain?
Some danish oils have a stain built in so it can be an easy 1 step process. I don’t stain my sticks usually, the danish or teak oil adds a beautiful Color to the wood as is…
Jason was that just for you own use or did you sell that ? 👍🏴
Matt, this was just made for fun... I've only sold a few and some made for friends. I'm starting to get a collection here. Trying to see about selling them at local craft fairs next summer (need to free up space to make more).
@@JasonHedrich Jason you should make them and sell online as well. Your work is exceptional that’s just a simple fact I honestly think you would be surprised. Go for it 👍🏴
@@Matt-uj6jm thanks! I appreciate it... something to look into, I'll let you know.
por favor las medidas
el palo mide aproximadamente 1,25" de diámetro y aproximadamente 55" de altura. Los agujeros están colocados al azar y tienen un diámetro de aproximadamente 1.125".
Tripophobiaaaa
Thanks for watching!
why don't you show us the whole finished stick?
Thanks, I will make sure to do this in the other videos... the shot may have been edited out for length. I'll look into it.
Why don’t you build and use a shaving horse?
I did think about it, but it's a matter of space in the shop. It makes more sense to have a multi purpose work bench than a shave horse.
Instead of dot dot patern why do not you try other king of patern.
I am sure you can get them, like punch like tools instaed of machine.
Yes, I’m always looking for great patterns to add to the sticks… lots to choose from
What a waste of a good power cord, you should have just simply used 550 or paracord
It was paracord I used for the handle wrap…
Its a shame u dont appreciate the natural way wood grows you want to cut off knots and crooks why dont u just use a 2 by 4
I’ve used the knots and branches in some of my other carvings. For this one, it was better to trim them off and keep the walking stick shaft a more manageable size
If you want to leave it natural leave the tree alone. A 2x4 is cut from a live tree. A walking stick is found wood. Someday in the future that is all you might find.😢 That is if you CAN find it.
