Carving My First Snake Walking Stick

My website: woodspirit.net/
Link to tools I use: woodspirit.net/products-i-use/ I carved this out of one piece of Silver Maple. It is my first snake walking stick and I put a meditating frog on top of it.

Nothing more frustrating than cutting a good stick then having to wait over a year for it to dry out before carving etc, fantastic work though mark, I love it, thanks for sharing

[@theoharisvourvahis-xy5jt]

Great video. The meditating frong is the real catch though

[@beauregardhughes1251]

Good content. I’m beginning my first snake stick and your work gave some good shots on getting down far enough to see what’s coming.

[@kingeggsvr9206]

I know you probably already a few sticks by now but you should check out Stinnett sticks.

[@IdRatherMakeItMyself-Net]

Thanks. I used oil paints - like you would use on a canvas - for this one. I think they have a little bit better look than acrylics but that might just be me. :)

[@wood4nothing284]

Mark Hanson thanks for that I wanna try using paint in a future project so thanks keep up the good work loving your channel

How much mark

[@shawnmarla9663]

Great job. Did you let the wood dry for a certain time or just cut it and use it

[@IdRatherMakeItMyself-Net]

I let it dry for about a year and a half. That's usually good enough. It probably has some moisture in it at that point but will dry out as it is getting worked on.
