LarryEA Posted August 16, 2014 Report Posted August 16, 2014 I would call them, 'Happy Face' ceremonial staffs. Good job Don. Where did you get the willow? Larry Quote
Scrappile Posted August 16, 2014 Report Posted August 16, 2014 Great sticks!! Is that wood burning you did for the design? I have a walking stick, that I have been witteling on for years. When I camp I like to sit by a wire and wittle on it. It grandkids argue over who get my walking sitck when I can't walk anymore! Little devils..... Quote

DonR Posted August 16, 2014 Author Report Posted August 16, 2014 Larry, I buy the willow from Northern Wildwoods in Northern Wisconsin they ship it to me here in Tennessee. Scrappile, the designs on the sticks are all carved, no woodburning on these. Don R Quote

DonR Posted August 17, 2014 Author Report Posted August 17, 2014 Don, great work on those walking staffs and the theme is Native Americans,love it Mahendra, They were commissioned by a Father/Son fraternal organization called "Broken Lance Native Nation" which is divided into local "tribes". The sticks were made one for each tribe and have the tribe name carved into each stick e.g "Mighty Navajo" "Mighty Zuni" Don R Quote
