Walking Stick Rack

[DonR]

The rack was commissioned by a very good, return customer who is a collector of unusual walking sticks and hiking staffs and an avid turkey hunter. He wanted an unusual rack to display part of his collection of sticks. He gave me the dimensions and asked me to come up with something. Here is what I came up with. The base is a 2 inch thick slab of cedar and the posts and rails are Diamond willow. I carved in the wood spirits and woodburned the turkeys, turkey tracks and flowers. The Turkey silhouettes are scrolled from 3/8 inch butternut. The rack is finished with several coats of Tung Oil.

Pros and cons are welcome.

Great rack the sculpture give a nice character . We can easily think that you made also the sticks they look like the rack.

Excellent craftsmanship, Don R., as always!

I was surprised that the rack didn't have individual cradles for the walking sticks to keep

them separated and keep them from knocking against one another.

It's really nice to look at!
God Bless! Spirithorse
