Wood carving make a Fall Leaf walking stick

Transfer image on to walking stick to carve
   This is a project added to the walking sticks guides earlier this year. Its a Fall leaf project. Basically you transfer images on to your walking stick and then wood carve the images. The actual making walking stick project has several leaves on the stick arrange around (5 leaves). The instructions include selecting leaves sizes, how to transferring the leaves images, actual wood carving of the wood walking stick leaves, painting and a extra finishing touch of using copper wire.

     Adding copper wire after the leaves are painted gives the walking stick that added touch. The copper wire accents the leaves colors and really take the stick from an simple carving to a truly unique walking hiking stick or staff.  The project is design for people who have completed the carving section of the how to make unique walking and hiking stick guides. If you are new to making hiking sticks then this is not a project for you. It contains several steps and process that requires some basic carving knowledge. It is a beginner level  carving project for a person who has done some basic wood image carving of walking and hiking sticks.

   Making you own walking stick or hiking staff is easy if you know the process. As in any hobby, learning about the hobby is half the fun.  Why settle for a mass produce store bought stick when you can make one with your own hands.
