Carved a beautiful walking stick out of maple, butternut and cedar for the staff. Made a rams skull and horns. Using saws, files, rotary tools/burrs and a lot of sanding, ended up with a lightweight walking stick.
Made the spiral for the horns from a branch of butternut that I had leftover from a previous build. The maple for the skull was from a firewood log, it was tough to cut through but the Kutzall burrs made the job of carving it much easier.
The finish is Teak oil and the skull got 2 coats of polyurethane.
Let me know your thoughts on the carving and look forward to hearing from you.
Thanks for watching.

Just beautiful! I love the detail on the ram horns and the different woods go together nicely. Great job Jason, now I have to go watch the rest of your channel.❤

Thank you!! Yes, this one a bit more complex but came together very well. Thank you for your support!

I like both styles but of the two I'd take the skull one first. But really I would like to see the animal it's self as a carving like a shepherd's crook. I'm a Brit and have seen many crooks with all sorts of things carved into them. Pheasants, dogs and of course sheep. I've also seen birds and cattle too.

You definitely have a gift. You remind me a lot of my uncle and he did a lot of carvings in Antlers one of the only memories I have of his artwork was in a pair of ram horns it was amazing. Your work is awesome and definitely inspires me to try something this complex. My skill level is nowhere near yours but I hope one day I can be close to it. Thanks for the video can't wait for the next one.

THE HORNS ARE WONDERFUL. THE SKULL CAME OUT NICE AND LIGHT FOR CONTRAST. THE STICK IS A BIT BIG FOR MY TASTES, BUT IT IS OBVIOUSLY A MAN'S STICK. A VERY NICE PIECE! THO, I DON'T SUPPOSE YOU CAN LEAN ON THE TOP OF IT?

@Jason Hedrich the way you crafted the horns is amazing. I wouldn't have thought of that at all but worked out great. And the natural wood contrast is spot on.

@JasonHedrich Жыл бұрын

@@rumpple4skin976 thanks, yes I like the way the horns came out. I've made spirals before from sticks and it seemed like the obvious way to make the horns. Also it allows you to use handy material instead of gluing up a large block to start with.

Ill certainly give ya a like. Lost me on "walking stick" when it became sectional. Thats more of a staff and decorative. Of course my opinion of a walking stick is functional during hikes with some art if so inclined.

@JasonHedrich Жыл бұрын

Thanks! It still can be used as a hiking stick... A little fancier but still works fine for its intended use.

@russellyoung9520 Жыл бұрын

WOW Jason. You out did yourself on this one. Good job on this one. A lot of work. It turned out great for Cedar. I hope that whom ever got it enjoys it. I am still looking for a foot that is over 3 inches in diameter. I might have to make it out of an old bicycle tire and some heat. What do you think Jason?

@JasonHedrich Жыл бұрын

Thank you, yes it did turn out pretty good! No one ordered it, just made it for the fun of it... let me know if you know anyone interested. Have you tried looking for rubber feet for canes or crutches (maybe those would be big enough)...

Hello. Amazing job. What kind of oil do you applied to the stick? Thanks very much

@JasonHedrich 28 күн бұрын

Thank you very much! I mostly use Teak oil on the sticks… but Danish oil or Linseed oil will work as well

@JustBill82 11 ай бұрын

I love your videos, would you use a steel wool polish with a polyurethene finish? I used it with Tung oil and it came out well (on your recommendation).

@JasonHedrich 11 ай бұрын

Yes, you have to watch out using steel wool with any water based finish... Any residual piece will form rust and ruin your carving.

@henrysscrollsawworks6367 Жыл бұрын

do you ever use flat boards that you glue together for carvings ?????????????

@JasonHedrich Жыл бұрын

For the larger carvings, I have laminated a few boards together to carve. It works well if the boards are flat and the seams are tight. I don’t get a chance too often to make large carvings however, but it does work.
