This is a beautiful walkingstick but I would make the top little bit different. But never the less beautiful piece and a very nice and clear explanation.😊
Thanks! Your video's have really helped me in the journey of making my own walking sticks. I used teak oil that I saw you use on my first aspen walking stick and it turned out great. I also used epoxy resin to fill in some cracks and knots which were inspired by you. Thanks again for sharing your video's!
I love the curves on the grain and how they move from the top to the handle, and the dragon scale works great .thank you for sharing your artistry with us and all the hard work you put into your channel .God bless you and your family.. Lee
Good afternoon Jason, so good to see another video. I loved how you started with a walk in the woods and that rock face was incredible. I love that Butternut wood. I is just beautiful. I was just looking at the Wipe on Poly yesterday. I'm gonna get some now. Beautiful piece and thank you so much for sharing your amazing craft. Have a great weekend!!
Thank you Christina! Yes, that was at Ausable Chasm in upstate NY… took a quick trip there last weekend and thought it would be a nice intro to the video. Nice to hear from you and have a great weekend as well!
I like what you did with the knob end! One side is flat like a hammer. I would've rounded that end or added domed screws. Or furniture tacks! Just in case I needed to defend myself with it. But fine craftsmanship!
@@slingshotwarrrior8105 yes, the flat side was really to show off the grain of the wood. I wanted to cut across the piece and the flat section worked the best. I never imagine my sticks for defence but I suppose you could add some kind of rounded metal like rivets. Thanks for watching
@@JasonHedrich Travelers have been using sticks like that to defend themselves for thousands of years. It looks very similar to an Irish blackthorn. Or an African Knock a Robbie! But with its own style. I would some brass furniture tacks to the flat end. It makes it look better and serves a practical purpose. It has the potential to be a fighting stick.

Thank you very much! Yes, I've kept most of the sticks I've made because I like them, but they are made to be used, so I do sell a few or give them away. Thanks for your kind words and for watching
Thanks Jason, beautiful work! Totally inspiring! Your patience and calm demeanor are wonderful. I wonder if you'd do a video on how you sharpen your tools (i.e. chip knife, spoke shave, hand plane, draw knife). Also, I'd love to see a shot of the whole piece at the end of your videos. I love the close-ups, but we don't get to see the whole thing at once.
Thank you for the kind words! Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for the tips, I’ll try and do a sharpening video in the future and try to add a final, overall shot.
I love how you are doing everything the old way. Keep doing that. Maybe these kids will pick up on it. Man Jason. This one turned out awesome. Maybe could have taken the dragons design more further down the cane a lot more. would look better if you could have used 2 different designs like your basket weave on the bottom 6-10 inches.
Hey Jason. Long time no see bro. I love this stick. Hey if I send you some pic of some wood I found can you ID them and tell me what I can do with them?
I can take a look and see if I can figure it out… I still have issues telling some species without seeing their leaves however. Email me at jhedrich73@gmail.com
Hi, that is beautifull work. Inspirational. I've never seen walkingsticks like that . they look thick and therefore ( too ?) heavy. Just like your other stick with celtic knot basketweave Is that a traditional or regional style ?
thank you for watching! I usually go a bit thicker on the softer woods to give it more strength, but the denser woods taper down to 3/4" or 19mm at the ends. There's no real regional style, I just carve them so they look good and I have used them many times and don't find them too heavy (granted they aren't as light a an aluminum pole) but they are functional!.
Really nice work, compliments. Looking forward for seeing the next one. May I ask how do you prevent wood from cracking in the coming months/years? Sealing/oiling......
Thanks! Glad you like it. Seeing the sticks are dry before working on them, no further cracking occurs. They do get sealed with oils and/or polyurethane so that helps prevent water absorption
You could raise the grain with water before poly… or just know that you will have to do a serious sanding after the first coat of poly due to the grain at that point. Either will work

Thanks!
Thanks for your support!
Oooweee that is something beautiful!! ❤love it!
Thank you very much!!
Great piece and the poly shows off the stunning wood. Awesome job
Thanks! Yes the wood grain is beautiful on this one.
I learned quite a bit about shaping tools
@@StephenEMcCoy nice, glad the video helped!
I am so glad to see your nice clean work with wood.
Thank you… this one had a lot of sanding but came out great!
Another amazing job. Congratulations.

Butternut works like a pine sturdy as white walnut my dad had toung and grove butternut wood 36,000 foot house 18 foot windows on the reservoir!
It's a beautiful wood, easy to work with too!
Never worked Butternut but we have lots of Claro Walnut. I’m enjoying seeing your sticks. Giving me ideas for mine.
@@arboristBlairGlenn Claro walnut is beautiful. Don’t have it around here but it would make some great sticks or toppers!
Thank you so much Jason, very enjoyable watching you with your amazing skills 😊
Thank you very much for watching! Glad you enjoyed it
Wow, I am in awe of your talent. You now have a fan for life.
Thank you so much! That means alot to me...
That is gorgeous, and looks like it could knock a noggin or two as well!
Thank you. It was a great piece of wood!
Sublime,what a beauty! Thank you for showing us .
Thank you so much!
Love the walk & the beautiful stick !!!!! 😲
Thanks, that was a great place to hike… I had to share it in the video!
Beautiful! Very inspiring!
Thank you very much
My dad s house had lots of Butternut wood so did his Queen Ann Victorian office , Butternut is hard wood but works like a soft wood !
And it's absolutely beautiful with just some oil. Hope you get the chance to use some of that wood! Thanks for watching
Beautiful craftsmanship. Thank you for teaching me new skills. Best wishes from Ireland 🇮🇪 to you and your family and subscriber's

@ very true, I’ll look into the brass tacks
@@JasonHedrich You can also use domed screws that are brass colored. I'm glad you agree, bro!
beautiful grain in the wood, nice looking Stick, thanks for sharing
Yes, a very nice piece of wood. Glad you liked the video
Your educational videos are more valuable than you know thank you 👍🏴
That’s great to hear! Thank you for letting me know!
Very inspiring. Thanks for sharing, Jason! Subscribed and looking forward to watching more of your content.

Good vid thanks. I was looking for some ideas for some sticks I'm making and will have a go at a version of the dragon scales 👍
Great to hear! Let me know how it works out
Beautiful 👍👍
Nice, glad you enjoyed it

Hey Jason. Long time no see bro. I love this stick. Hey if I send you some pic of some wood I found can you ID them and tell me what I can do with them?
I can take a look and see if I can figure it out… I still have issues telling some species without seeing their leaves however. Email me at jhedrich73@gmail.com
Awesome man
Thank you!
Real nice great job. Where do you buy your wood from
Thanks. That piece I got from a wood supplier... They had a great deal on some thicker stock
Hello 👋
Great Work thx 👍

You're an artist 👌🤩🪚🪵
Thank you!
How did you lay out thr diamonds for the feathers?
Thanks for watching, I give a full explanation in my Celtic weave walking stick video. You can find in off my main page or doing a search on UA-cam
I like making, staff and wands, cups or as we call it Chalice Goblet I also work on stone, crystals, and metals it is what I like to do let my vesión
That sounds great! Keep up the carvings!
Did you have to wet and re sand to raise the grain? What was your sanding progression before poly ? Thank you
You could raise the grain with water before poly… or just know that you will have to do a serious sanding after the first coat of poly due to the grain at that point. Either will work
Awesome, do you sell you work Jason?
I do, please write to me at jhedrich73@gmail.com and we can discuss what you are looking for… thanks
Very niiiiiccce work brother!!
Thank you! The wood grain was really beautiful on this one
No Thong? Tom Ireland
Not on this one .. I've put it on others though
Cool!
Thank you!
AmaZing😍😍😍send it to me😍
Thanks!
What size was that piece of wood…width and thickness? Just curious.
It was 2" thick, about 10" wide before I cut it into 2" strips. The board was 60" tall, wormy butternut
@@JasonHedrich…Thank You. It turned out beautiful!!!
@@brian9227 thank you very much
Bravo, bel lavoro.P.S. minuto 7:48 Tool name, Japanese type? Grazie👍😉

How much is something like that run for a custom built just like you did?
Thank you for your interest. Please write to me at jhedrich73@gmail.com and we can discuss it.
didn’t mention about sanding!
There’s always lots of sanding! But it’s boring to watch so I skip it on the video
ماشاء الله عليك
Thank you!
We artisans do not need to use a lathe machine to do it rounded we use our eyes and ability to work on it.
A lathe has its uses but I like doing it by hand!
@@JasonHedrichme too a drawknife and a spokeshave gets me just about done
You need a small stick on a key chain maybe and hang it from yer belt you nearly took yer finger off using that jigsaw!!
I think it was just the angle you were looking at it from... but thanks for watching out for me :)
You should invest in a good quality bandsaw… it will change your life.
I agree, it souls speed things up. But the cost is out of reach for me at the moment. One day! Thanks for watching
