Walking hiking sticks making stick woold left over project

How to making hiking sticks and staffs wood left over projects.  Making you own hiking stick is a blast especially if you collect the wood yourself. However, what do you do with the left over pieces of wood?  Why stop at just making your own hiking stick when you can make a wood knife? Wood vase? Wood tree holder or even a walking stick stand to hold your many self made walking sticks?
Some of these ideas are detailed in the wood left over project section of how to many unique walking and hiking stick yourself guides. The above wood knife  is an additional hiking stick project project that takes left over wood and a comfortable place to whittle wood.  The over all length is determined you your left over hiking stick material. I have used pieces as skinny as 2" round and as long as 14 long (Bowie design) to make my wooded knives.

There is no set rule in width, length or even if it needs to look exactly like your hunting knife. There are hundreds of styles of real knives so why limit yourself. Maybe make a wood knife that resembles a sword or a dagger?  Or use a big piece for a bowie knife design.  However, a word of warning, it can cause injury just as in the Dracula movies wooded knives/stakes can kill. When making your own  wooded knives keep them away from children. If you are showing a younger member of your family how to make them make sure you give them reminders about the danger of the knives to prevent injuries!  Enjoy your hiking stick or walking staff making hobby and  please if you have questions let me know!
