Eastern Diamondback Walking Stick
Several years back, dad found a Blue Beech tree on his property with a unique bend in it. Dad cut the limb from the dead tree and gave it to me for a walking stick. After being in storage for quite some time, it finally hit me while staring at it, how I could make a cool looking walking stick. After doing some research on one of the coolest looking rattlesnakes, the Eastern Diamondback, the challenge was on. It turned out to be easier than expected. I only carved about ten inches down the beech stick because I wanted to blend to scales into the natural bark of the wood. The eyes are glass and the carved section was painted with acrylics and thoroughly sealed. The walking stick is about four feet high with a stainless steel spike on the foot. On your next walk through the woods or digging through a pile of brush, keep your eyes peeled for something that you can turn into a unique piece.
Never stop dreaming
