Crystal Wood Spirit Walking Stick making
Рет қаралды 37,043
3 жыл бұрынI made another walking stick build, but this one has a citrine crystal embedded into the top just behind the wood spirit carving. Also included is a paracord handle and added some wood burning details into the walking stick. The wood was very light in color so it was finished with a dark walnut Danish oil and added 3 coats of polyurethane finish. Hope you enjoy the process and let me know in the comment section what you thought of the carving.
Thanks for watching.

So far the best video I've seen. Thorough step by step, easily understood discription, of how to work on each part of the stick. I was hoping to find such a video as this, but almost quit looking. This was great - very helpful. Thanks for talking like an adult without endless time spent (wasted) on obvious things. Refreshing.

@@robertblackmore703 yes, it was a challenge as it was such an irregular shape but I took my time and eventually made the wood conform to the shape. I used 5minute epoxy and it has held up great. With all the edges and faces, there was plenty of surface area to hold it all together.

I think you should add Walking stick / "staff" to the title because it helps with the algorithm, I've searched for this type of video and wasn't satisfied with the results. KZfaq recommended this, so found it by chance.

Thank you very much. I started with just a carving knife, one chisel and a hand saw. The spokeshave really helps to shape the stick, and those you can get used or from a big box stores. Hope that helps

@JasonHedrich 3 жыл бұрын
Thanks for the comments! Not sure on the wood… I find them already down in the forest, usually no bark or leaves left so I can’t tell what type it is… this one was very light wood, which is why I decided to stain it. Fun build overall and the client was happy so that’s what counts.

Some sawdust and glue will fill in the holes from the crystal. Use like plaster and sand back.

Yes that could work. The epoxy did fill most of the space so the fit was fairly seamless but good tip nonetheless

@@JasonHedrich I'm suggesting this not in place of the epoxy but so that the crystal looks more like it's growing out of the staff.

a lot of this build is pretty straight forward but would have liked you to film the gluing/epoxy of the crystal since that part is a bit more unique. would have been nice to see that process in more detail. still liked/subbed
@JasonHedrich Жыл бұрын
I’ll make note for next time. The glue up wasn’t all that complex… seeing I took the time to match the wood to the crystals shape, I just applied 2part epoxy and held the crystal in place with tape until it dried. I’ve seen some attached with thin copper wire as well, those look good too… maybe the next one. Thanks for watching

@JasonHedrich 3 жыл бұрын
Rex Carr, I think you are referring to a Dremel? If so, to start, you can go with any rotary tool and see if it works for you. The Dremel 4000 is a great tool for around $120CAN and can definately get you into the thick of it. If, and when you want to upgrade, FOREDOM has some beautiful, high end tools with more power but will set you back a little bit more in cash.
